Joined Amazon last yr as an l4 with tc 195k (150base + rsu). Been an year and doing pretty well, getting my promo doc ready for next quarter. With the current stock growth if I get l5 how much of increase in tc should I expect? I have another offer for 220k (175k base + 175k rsu vesting over 4yrs). Is it better to take up the new job or push internally?( It's not a guarantee that I get promoted next quarter). Anyone recently got promoted from l4 to l5? #Amazon #promotion Yoe : 10yr
Think the l4-l5 promo is a standard base hike. Seattle itβs 144
10yoe as a L4!?! no fucking way. nonetheless, take the external offer, you're not getting shit with a promo as your initial offer is in the L5 band.
The stock appreciated and my tc is coming to 210k, not sure how much the tc would go up by even if I get promo
So what did you do?
Ended up staying, I will see how it goes and also preparing for interviews
Did promotion happened?
I am not supposed to know till March I think, but my manager submitted for review
Cool. Then mostly it should go through. Good luck. Also did they wait for a year to submit review?
Promo did not happen as expected π’ some managers objected ππ
Sorry dude, that sucks. I've been working on the promo doc for half a year and still get push back too. Promo process is broken when the teams have too much churn and you work on really specific stuff. I'm a keystone part of the team but leaving due to this. It's just not worth working >40 hrs/wk to keep up with my sprints and also putting in extra time on top of that for a promo process that fights you and doesn't even pay well if you get it
My promo went through next quarter
Oh, sorry to hear that. I hope you figure it out next time.
Which company do you have an offer from? Thatβs an important piece of the equation.
It's from a cdn provider
