Hey guys, Recently found out about this website. I recently got promo'd from an SDE 1 to an SDE 2. When I joined amazon from an unkown midsize company at 4 yoe and joined as an SDE I at 155k TC in Boston. I realized I got screwed for level since I hear SDE 1 is for college grads. I worked my ass off for the next 18 months and recently got promoted. My target comp was adjusted to 193k with a base at 144k and a grant of 11 RSUs at a price of 3190 per unit for 2023. My forte had me rated at exceeds. I was pretty happy until I saw the numbers on this website. I see people at the SDE 2 level getting around 20+ RSUs per year on this website with similar YOE. Will my comp get better if I transfer to another team or are people just inflating their comp on here? Or should I just bury my head in leetcode and look outside? At 6 YOE now. #amazon #salaries
Look out. Amazon does not treat their old employees properly in terms of TC.
No they won’t increase your pay after you just got a promotion. Only way to increase pay again soon is to move elsewhere. Congrats on the promo tho!
It will rise pretty fast to top of band if you keep performing well. You should have about 260k target TC in your annual review in 2 years, then get bumped up to 320k when promoted. The real goal should be L6 then you are good! It’s probably not that far off.
