Looks like ill be offered a SDE II (L5) spot at Amazon NYC. What does the community think about this org? Recruiter said expected comp for me based on my interview performance is: 160k base 65k first year bonus/55k second year bonus, 90 RSUs (1.8k each right now) What should I counter with? Graduated in May 2016 so 3.5 yrs experience.
That’s a great offer for 3.5 years of work ex
Do you have a competing offer? Counter with that. If you don't have a competing offer, you can't counter with anything
This is key. The game seems like it is playing these FANG companies against each other. I don’t have any competing offers but I asked for some more base to offset the large amount that comes from RSUs
Was offered 165k + 78/63 + 102 RSUs recently, ask for more
Some closure here: I countered with a slightly higher TC request and Amazon proposed about the same TC except the money is frontloaded in my 4 year plan because it’s in the bonuses. I really enjoyed the interview process, the people I met were busy but kind and very smart, and I’d recommend anyone go through this process if they could. The teams in amazon ads seem to be some seriously cool stuff as well
