I recently got verbal confirmation from Amazon Vancouver that they are going to give me a SDE1 offer (I appeared for SDE2 though, probably did not do good enough in design rounds). YOE- 6 years I am getting 100k in my current org, no competing offers (awaiting results from microsoft post loop) The recruiter told me that base salary is going to be around 110k, but asked my expectations around total compensation. What would be a fair number to quote based on canadian market ?
Go big with TC and let them lower the number
iirc, 160K is the upper bound in Vancouver for sde1
150K is prob the best you can get
