Is it possible for SDE II at amazon to reach 400k in TC?
No. Those were extreme outliers at the peak of pandemic over hiring.
Yes, June 2021- October 2022.
With a time machine, yes.
Yes. It can even go higher. I can see in some internal channels.
Not in 2024
Someone shared this internally for SDE II
Not anymore. Only people making that are pandemic hires (even then, it’s a bit high), or maybe folks who got promoted last year when stock was like half of today’s price
Pandemic free money is over
Yes, if you still have joining stocks + high rating with the given stock price. However, there will be a cliff after the bonus so it would be possible year on year without a consistent spike in stock price.
As far as an offer. Nope.
