Amazon SDE1 “Expected salary”

I am moving on to Amazon’s onsite for SDE1 and my recruiter is asking me for my “Expected salary (include base, bonus, and equity)”. I have 1.5 YOE. Should I just give the ceiling of 170k because most offers I’ve seen range from 140k-170k.

170 is out of band for SDE 1, esp with only 1.5 YOE

It’s probably better give a higher number in the beginning though, right?

If they offered 170k, would you be happy with that?

Capital One XXsw47 OP Jan 12, 2019

I would.

Probably 150. If you had a shot at 170 you’d be a low band sde2
