im an SDE in Alexa team, got promoted from L5 to L6 this week after 3 years. What boost will my TC get? TC — Base: 155k RSU: 55k
10%?
Congratulations! Amazon doesn’t have yearly cash bonus?
I am sorry to be the harbinger of bad news. They would bring your TC to ~250k (maximum 260k) using cash + stocks. If you are in Seattle max base cap is $160k and $180k for Bay Area. Rest will be RSU.
Gratz. You will have 260k TC next year and most likely your current TC doesn’t change much this year as your base is almost maxed out 😂 Start interview preparation now, like right fucking now. You will thank me later. Source: used to be an Amazon L6.
Wow, ouch.
