Hi everybody, I initially gave an expectation to my recruiter and they returned me with an amount. It is far below my expectation. What is the general rate they increase after the initial offer? Is there any strategy to increase it well? From your experience in how many steps did you get your final offer and how much was the final offer more than the initial offer in terms of percentage?

Companies have comp bands. You will usually come in at the mid point of the band. They will not give you an out of band offer. You can negotiate a bit if you have a competing offer but they will not give you an out of band offer. Check out levels.fyi and filter by new offers for your role to get an idea of what people are getting
Your best strategy is to interview with another company. Amazon sucks for many reasons. One of which is they ubderpay compared to a lot of other similar companies.
