Is it typical for the base pay at Amazon to be less than the base pay at Microsoft? For those who have moved from Microsoft to Amazon what was the motivation to move with an offer with less base pay? Is moving from level 64 at Microsoft to TPM 3 something even to consider?
Yes, amazon has a cash cap and provides most comp through stock which is awesome as long as the price always goes up. If you want cash amzn is not the answer, netflix is though!
Yes it is typical.
Why do you care that much about base pay and not TC?
Coz Amazon stock is overpriced POS
First year you get pure cash from signing bonus, second year cash is nit bad either. You are safe for at least 2 years no matter what :)
