Just see some offers from Amazon. For some sde 2 with 3 4 yoe, they have about 100k sign on each year for the first two years? And they have 160k base as well?! WTF! Although the stock is 5/15/40/40 and about 200k in total, this looks no worse than G and F. TC: 200k YOE: 4
Yeah SDE 2 top of the band crosses 300K (not by much). Amazon is having a (very) hard time hiring people
WTF! Man. This is tier 1 pay.
100k sign-on is ridiculous for two years
Wow. How many years of experience? PhD?
Yoe? PhD?
The pay might be there but unlike G and F, Amazon will suck you dry and make you work with peers who are stack ranked against you thus no team spirit just cut throat competition and a toxic environment to survive in. Don't enter hunger games for money.
You do know right that FB stack ranks every 6 month and it’s very Brutal ?
It's still not as bad as Amazon. It's hard to concentrate on anything outside of work here, especially if you are not a resident, constant fear of pip and no life outside of work. It's basically slavery with pay.
Microsoft ain't that bad right?
Troll
no - seriously. amzn and msft pay roughly the same?
Amazon Applied Scientist 3 (L6) offer (Bay Area) Base: 185k RSU: 1.1M Year 1 sign on: 450k Year 2 sign on: 350k So around 700k/year PhD + 8 yoe
Are you serious? 😮
Yoe please
Be careful with top of the band offers. You’re basically locked in for 4 years, no refreshers nothing and cliff after 4 years unless you can get promoted.
Let’s consider 2/3 year and jump. This is still pretty good.
It was way worse 2 years ago.
Got an SDE2 offer of 325k from Amazon a few weeks ago. I’m surprised Amazon has a reputation for low pay
All the best.
Breakdown?
They pay top performer pretty well these days. Or maybe it’s Microsoft’s pay too uncompetitive.

The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
I rather take 300k rsu from G or F with 150k salary and yearly bonuses/refreshers.
Anyway let’s just leave MS ASAP
Anywhere else is better
