Amazon Senior TPM

I'm considering a move to Amazon as a Sr TPM. They're asking what my expectations are WRT salary (base), bonus % and equity. TPM is outside my domain of expertise as it pertains to salary etc and I have no idea of what to ask for. They're covering relo to Seattle, of course. My trolldar isn't very good, so a couple serious responses would be nice. 🤘 And while I have your attention, does anyone know what this role is like at AMZN? I have context at other companies, but not there. Thx, Blinders!

Amazon caps Seattle bases at 160k TC most likely won’t go above 250k tho. If u want 300k+ then try google and fb

Caps them for TPMs? At $160? Pshh. That's well below my current. L8rz, AMZN.

That’s the base cap for everyone, even directors, VPs, etc

Depend on the project. Typically you coordinate with multiple engineering teams to get a project going. Keep track of the status and report to senior management of progress, etc. Sr. Tpm may also involve in longer term planning and help shape the product. Typically a lot of doc writing, cross team communication and coordination.

Doc writing? Good gawd, is it 2002 again? Who does this anymore?
