What team in Vancouver?

RSU is too low, seems Amazon is cheapening out on their RSU. If they pip you before the end of your 2nd year, they only have to give you 1 stonk.

Base is really good for Canada L5. Sign-on and RSUs could be higher. I got similar sign on and more (around 50 RSU) after negotiation earlier this year for L4 industry hire.

Did you end up getting more RSU? There is not a lot of data points for L5 in Vancouver at 3-5 YOE. Curious to know

OP negotiated for extra RSU. But in tern got extra LSEs and COEs.
