Received an Amazon L6 TPM offer in a HCOL. Looks like I was low balled quite a bit reading all the posts about how Amazon is giving much higher offers for the past 6 months or so. The offer is very close to my current TC.

I’m expecting a verbal offer from another firm and have another loop coming up. Can I use the verbal offer to negotiate in the 450k range? Will Amazon ask for proof? Can anyone please share top of the band for L6 in HCOL?

Offer details:
Base: 185k
Sign-on: 196k
RSUs: 245k

1st year TC roughly 309k

YOE: 18

Current TC: 300k

    I think you can negotiate up to 360k for an L6 TPM in a HCOL. Don't need another offer. Just tell them the current offer is not competitive and not willing to move without a good offer. Counter with 360 TC.

    Edit: I have not been able to confirm 360k TC based on data points in the internal # pay-equity slack channel. Although I am seeing posts for $330k TC in Seattle which is wild, most posts are around $280k in Seattle for L6 TPM. That leads me to believe $350k-$360k in a HCOL is not unreasonable. Maybe someone else can confirm if it is possible to get higher than $360k TC for HCOL.

      Not sure I trust levels, but even if that is accurate, those comps are outside of the band and in the higher part of the range for L7 TPM pay. That doesn't mean you can't get them to match that pay as an L6, but it will have to be a director approved exception and not something the hiring manager can offer without requesting additional approvals.

    What was your interview like? Did you have to complete coding assigments or coding rounds and design rounds for a TPM level role?
    I am interested in applying myself later this year and would appreciate any and all resource recommendations. Thanks!
