Amazon SDE II 3% raise
I got 3% raise this PCS and $39,000 worth of RSUs vesting 2024. I didn’t get new RSUs that vests beyond 2024 Where do I fit in? What are my options? #software #engineering Edit: TC: 2023: ~220k TC 2024: ~270k Manager wouldn’t say which HV
Options are contracts that gives you the right to buy or sell a financial product at an agreed upon price for a specific period of time. Amazon doesn’t give you options but RSUs
Who said options?
I mean what are my choices (options) not as in stocks
what is your 2024 TCT. that can tell us your rating, not the increase

HV2 my friend
Most likely hv2
220k～270k. 50k increase. it seems like 22.7% of TC increase. why you said only 2.8 raise？
Raise is on base salary Target comp for 2023 was $250k but dropped to $220k with stock drop It did increase for 2024 from $240k to $270k
is 2024 rsu based on current stock price？amazon give you stock refreshment for 2024？
Wait Amazon has secret ratings?
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20964618-q1-2021-talent-evaluation-packet This has all the details. We get an obscured rating but it’s usually possible to determine your actual rating by your compensation changes
Fascinating!

That's pretty good. As the market recovers you can start looking for SDE-3 outside or leverage it for promo.
Amazon doesn't believe in inflation?
Only in amazon marketplace
Frugality. Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense.
Jesus Christ Amazon gives employees tens of thousands of dollars in RSUs vesting in 1 year as an end of year rewards? ….Microsoft fucking sucks
MS lags behind the the other FAANGs when it comes to RSU rewards. That's where the comp difference is, on base pay you guys are not that far behind iirc. MS only catches up for senior hires, like partner level I believe.
Yeah even after upping refreshers they still really lag. Seniors from FAANG often transfer in as staff level (principal at Microsoft) just to maintain comp
base? it depends on where u came in at in the range too
This is the smartest reply. The writter of this reply deeply understands Amazon’s pay raise system and rules of this game. +1 and thumbs up!
