Hi, I joined Amazon as a new grad software engineer in August 2019 (recruited/interviewed/hired via student programs). I ended up being placed in a reasonably well growing AWS service team. My offer signed Aug 2019: 108k base salary, 24k first year bonus and 20k second year bonus, 70k in RSU. Stock price for grant was like ~$1850 In April 2020, I had my first review and my PCS showed a 1.7% salary increase. From what I can tell that seems usual/average, is that right? As the 2021 review and PCS is coming soon, I’m wondering what I should expect. I’m definitely not exceeding expectations but I think my manager is pretty content with my performance since they’ve targeted me for promotion in the next 2 quarters. I was hoping for an RSU grant but I’ve been reading about this total compensation model, and since the stock is up ~70% since joining, I’m now thinking I might not and I may just get the paltry 1.7% or so again. Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on what may happen? Something else I noticed, which maybe has always been true: seems like new incoming grads are making more than me, their offers: 116k base salary 27k first year bonus, 22k second year bonus, 86k rsu. Is that normal and should I bring that up with my manager in between forte/performance review meeting and PCS meeting and try to get more base salary increase? #tech #salary #salarycomparison #rsu #amazonaws

New grads getting more pay happens in other companies as well
Sorry for the off-topic, any tips for new grads to survive in Amazon? Could I Dm?
Sure
Thanks, dmed
I had same question when I joined Amzn, and try to discuss with manager. The answer is they can do nothing. If you want higher salary, just go to another company. this always happen. one more tips, when you got promote, you will find you are the lowest in the target role. any new hire in sane level will be MUCH Higher than you. maybe 100k per year some time
