What are the highest comped Account Reps at Amazon in SF/Seattle receiving in base and commission? Is 185k base unreasonable in SF/Seattle if you're already making 110k base with matching commission in Austin market?
Lol you're kidding right?
Nope. 160 is the highest base possible at amazon. The rest is in the form of bonus and back weighted rsus.
How do you know this, doesn't seem to make sense?
160 in Seattle seems ok but not in SF
It's very common knowledge and I have several friends at amazon. I would doubt amzn would pay the max to sales but someone else might be able to guide you there. Sales is all about commission though isn't it, why worry about base?
Sales is about maximizing all earning imho. I just figured they'd pay more for reps in SF because cost of living is ridiculous. Are your friends in Sales at Amazon?
No, engineering. Cost of living in the bay is high but you can make it on 110, you will just be downsizing same as you would moving to any major city.
I see, how would it be living in SF on 160k?
I have many friends at Amazon and can confirm the highest base salary is $160k. Not sure what seniority you need to even get that!
True about base cap
How about level 5 sales rep?
Considering amzn has a salary cap if 160...185 is impossible ;)
