You can ask for 120k sign on (split across 2 years) and 120k RSUs.. General rule for amazon.. Base per year ~= total sign-on ~= initial RSUs

I miss read it first too commented and deleted He mentioned it’s over 2 years hence tc will be average of 1.5 times base. It’s pretty on par with the offer I got on sde2 honestly...

Yes there is a max TC for SDE 1 band, the first couple bands after that too under normal circumstances.

What is the per year breakdown? It looks like if your TC is in the 160s you’ll have a massive cliff after year 2???

I think they are saying once the signing bonus runs out you will drop a lot unless the number of RSUs is similar. Amazon expects the stock to increase 15% a year so they build that into the number of shares you get.
