Posting on behalf of a friend: Currently work at Blackrock, NY as a software engineer associate (TC 175K) Got an offer from Amazon for SDE2 - L5 TC 250K (175Base). position in Jersey City, NJ YOE - 10 yrs upcoming interview with facebook. Should I take this offer? is it too low? what happens if I accept the offer and facebook works out? is it okay to rescind on an accepted offer?
^ what Amazon said. Wait for fb
^ what Twilio confirmed. Wait for fb
$250K for SDE-2 is the very top of the pay band at Amazon. This means that unless you get consecutive top tier performance ratings and/or a promotion to SDE-3, your TC will drop down after 4 years, most likely to $180K or so...
This is a good offer for SDE2. But SDE2 is not good enough for 10 yoe. I would strongly encourage to focus on fb interview for E5. Memorizing leetcode will help. Questions will be from there verbatim.
You can negotiate for more. Ditto what the other guy said about $290k
Is New Jersey as expensive as New York for it have the same band as New York ?
Thank you all for your opinions and suggestions. Really appreciate w
I was in the same situation. And I asked and Amazon gave me a one week extension. The recruiter moaned about it but in the end gave it. they basically have to give you an extension as long as you're polite. You can see how that story turned out by my company tag...
Can you share the breakdown of the BlackRock Comp? I thought base went up to 140 only for associate. Also what was the outcome?
Wait for fb, you have a shot at e5 which would blow that amazon outr of the water
