This is the initial offer I received. Haven't negotiated it yet. Wanted to contribute numbers to the community, as well as ask how I can actually go. Position: SDE2 YoE: 3 years Location: Seattle Base: 150k Sign in bonus: 60k | 40k RSU: 90 shares / ~160k TCT (mentioned by recruiter): 220k Notes: 1) I know I crushed the interview 2) Should have at least 1 competing offer soon 3) Decision deadline has been made to sound firm (was initially 4 business days, I asked for more time so they gave me 6 business days). Feedback is appreciated :)
How was the interview? What kinda questions?
If you crushed the interview..you could try to round it up. ~100 shares and 160k base
Ha, I updated the post to round the numbers a bit to maintain anonymity. Probably over paranoid, but I thought an Amazon recruiter would be able to identify me with the exact numbers. But that's for the input :)
The numbers in the comment still holds
Offer looks good. interested to know competing offer as well.
I'll make a post once I have all my offers to share the numbers and get some help making the decision :D
Great offer. I joined AMZN right after undergrad and am SDE2 now, YOE 3, TC 180
Considered leaving for better TC?
Indeed. Also for other reasons
Don’t join if you have offer from other company
This is what I've heard overwhelmingly. The issue I'm having is that the Amazon offer is in Seattle. Competing offers are in SF. Because of state tax and cost of living differences, I have to take off 15-20% from SF offers to make a real comparison. And if I do that the Amazon offer is way better.
What if you will lose 20% more happiness at Amazon? Really worth it?
I had same offer as you for sde2. Was able to negotiate higher to 150k base, 84/68 bonus, 120 RSU
Does team look interesting? Does it have good opportunities and growth potential?
Team seems interesting with challenging work and a customer facing product, so I'm sure I'll learn a lot while I'm there.
Very good offer

Pretty good for YOE, seems in the upper band for SDE 2. Even with a competing offer, its unlikely it will go much higher than this
I thought SDE2 upper band was closer to 250k? There's a comment lower down that suggests the same.
Yeah that was my point. It wont go much higher than 220 (maybe 20-30k). You should still try though.
