Expecting an offer from Amazon for a L6 or L5 Sr. BIE role. What can I can expect the TC breakdown to be like for both Bay Area & Seattle? Any leads much appreciated 🙏 TIA YOE - 8 Current TC - 175K Bay Area 165K base + 5k RSUs + 5k bonus #tech #amazon #dataanalytics #datascience #data
Congrats op! For your yoe L6 would be the appropriate. Median for L6 would be 230k ish for Seattle.
Thank you @dexter92. Let’s see what the hiring committee will come back with.
I don’t think that’s true. I am a recently promoted BIE in Bay Area and my TC is 220K so expect less in Seattle
Is BIE same as data engineer in Amazon ?
No, it’s the analytics/ data science /product analytics/ reporting job family. Similar to the role Data Scientist - Product Analytics at meta. There might be some aspects of modeling/ machine learning depending on the team
Thank you for reply. have you received the offer ? L6 seems to be a good progression path from your current TC. How is the compensation of BIE compared to Data Engineer? similar or more than Data Eningeers
Im bie l6 at amazon for 5y~ those ranges look right. But base for l6 goes to 200k and tc to 300k, you can even negotiate the mix of the two sometimes. But keep in mind we are on ktlo org wide and or freeze so if you are getting an offer it depends whether its for a 3yP or s-team goal or somebody just leaving. Also depends how quickly youll be able to self start.
Thanks for chiming in, is the base and tc you are referring to are for Bay Area or Seattle?
Might be 10% diff as the range / band is not as wide as with e.g. sde or pm bands
Which team is this for?
Total TC should be somewhere between 230-260 for Seattle. 10% more for Bay and NYC. Base would be around 150ish and rest would be stocks. This can be negotiated though
Thanks for the response!
Op, what level did they offer you?
No update yet, will hear next week due to the holidays
Current L5 BIE at TT rating, agreed with these comp numbers. Please post here how your offer goes!
Op do you mind updating us whenever you hear back from them
First of all, congrats on getting an offer. Senior BIE (or BIE III) at Amazon is L6, and L5 is not senior level and just BIE II. Below is assumed base/TC as of 2022 in Seattle. Not sure how it is different now. L5: 99-160k base | 151-192k TC L6: 130-176k base | 199-262k TC
Thank you for the response. I’m expecting an offer most likely based on the interview feedback. Haven’t received the offer yet🤞
As a Sr BIE at Amazon, I confirm this is accurate for Seattle (no state income tax)
