Can Amazon managers comment on how dive and save works? I work in Amazon Toronto 5YOE SDE2. I have a TC of 140 (117 k base 20k stock). The normal comp range is from 150-220 for my level so I’m below the band. I got an offer for Bay Area Google L3 with a comp of 220 (+20k sign on first year so 240). Wondering how I can use the Google offer to bump my TC at Amazon Toronto, to at least the 200 CAD range?
Simple. Just share the offer with you Manager and tell them you’re prepared to take it but are open to a counter offer. As above, make sure you’re actually ready to leave if they don’t counter offer.
How often does this work though? I wonder if they will look at Bay area offer or ask for the canadian numbers first
How is this taken by managers? Are you seen as a flight risk or negatively viewed if you do this? I’ve always thought taking a counter offer was a bad move for those reasons.
Yes on both counts. This a somewhat high risk maneuver, and often best to move to a new team shortly afterwards. Depending on your relationship with you Manager they may harbor some resentment. Proceed with caution.
Just go to Google
My Gf is in toronto...
Just go, you won’t get this and it will burn a bridge.
When you do this, don’t forget how you had to get a competitive offer for your manager to go to bat for you. If you meant so much to them, they’ve had every opportunity to make sure your company reflected you value at perf review time.
Yea but you have to be prepared to walk out
