How is this for an SDE2 offer from Amazon Bay Area? Base: $180k Sign-on 1yr: $95k Sign-on 2yr: $70k Stock: 115 shares (weird Amazon vesting) Total Comp: $285k YoE: 6 I was also offered L3 at Google (messed up one interview) but was given the chance to have 2 more interviews to level up. Do not have enough time to complete Google loop though. Any chance Google will match for L3?
Wow that's an awesome offer given that presently the stocks are going very high still they are giving 115 stocks
No way Google is going to beat that at L3.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
Sounds very high for E3
Did Amazon tell you the number of RSUs? Generally, they tell you the $$, and RSUs comes after joining based on trading price for last few days
Great offer! Top of the band and strong on stock (over 250k in current price) Google at that level will be much lower plus you’ll be newgrad level
Amazon is definitely better than Intel. Go for it!
Any number from google offer? L3 can match SDE II (L5) at amazon
L3 going up to 280? Nah 210-220 is as high as they would go afaik on l3 And even that is stretching
I don't have numbers from Google, but the ranges provided were not up to what I was asking. I would have to commit to level and go through the compensation committee to get real numbers. I did not have time for that whole process.
But Bay area is way expensive than Seattle.. on opposite side, there is no work life balance at Amazon, and ensure you are not in bottom 10%.. :-)
That’s top of the band SDE2 offer, well done! Never seen G give a L3 offer this high, you should interview for L4
Thanks! Unfortunately given Google's propensity to delay things, I don't think I can continue and not risk losing Amazon. I will give it a go again in a year perhaps.
