How’s the Amazon offer for L5 (SDE2). Seems like a lowball. But recruiter said it absolutely cannot go higher. Base is around $160k Equity is $22500 for 4 years Sign on bonus: 115k Y1 85k Y2 I’ve averaged everything out in the offer eval below. TC around $280k
Bananas?
Would not join for 280. At least 325
Does Amazon have bonus
no
L5 bottom of band is 252 in LCOL. That offer is not bad.
252 is bottom of band in Seattle not LCOL
yeah get off the high horse buddy, the covid days are over, amazon is routinely laying off people, considering that 252K is pretty good for L5 in seattle these days....blind has corrupted people's minds..amazon is not meta/snap
Too low
That offer is good even for Seattle, 300K more is base for L6 so u are already earning 80% on that band
Low. Don’t take it unless you are jobless. Only reason to join Amazon is for money
Good offer!
So, if you piped on the 1y you get -115k
They pay out sign on bonuses with every paycheck in a prorated amount
Cash is front loaded first 2 years
