Amazon SDE 2 promotion refreshers

I am considering joining Amazon in the Bay Area, either A9 or AWS. How much refresher stock does one get on being promoted from SDE 1 to SDE 2? How much has it been in the last 3-4 years?

Fucking hate โ€œrefresherโ€ verbiage. Continuing to get paid is not โ€œrefreshingโ€. Not OPs fault, just hate hearing it, like people getting โ€œPIPโ€™dโ€ which isnโ€™t a thing that happens. Stock has been growing so quickly that people are not getting new stock at promo. Your new TCT will be $172k or so, tour base will be around $130k. So 42k in stock. With the stock growing like it has, most are over target once base is bumped, some before.

Completely understand. Used the term because thatโ€™s what everyone uses. To clarify target comp in sfo is 172k?

Bay area TC should be ~190K
