Recruiter told me Amazon wants to give offer. I'm L64 at MS, and recruiter said targeting SD2 which seems under level. But apparently SDE2 is a wide band so hoping for comparable salary. The team is in the Alexa shopping org. Recruiter asked me about pay expectation. What is a competitive offer here? Current TC (Bay Area) Base 200k Bonus 20% (last 2 years got this amount) Stock ~100k / year
I had the impression that L64 at MS was close to the second half of the range of an L6 Amazon
Don't think they can offer 340k+ at L5 anywhere. Ask for L6
Yeah.. I mentioned I'm 64 at MS and will give them expectations similar to current comp.
YOE?
7 yoe in industry but coding much longer than that.
Adding offer details. The recruiter was apologetic because they can't come close to my current comp for sde2. 155 base Sign on 107/91 38 rsu 5/15/40/40 It works to 273, 267, 244, 244 total comp for years 1 to 4. Seems like a good offer for sde2. I will try again after getting principal at MS.

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Goodbye USA tech jobs
Lol. Their absolute f ing max would be 260k$, more like 245k$. No more bonuses or refreshers till L6 which you should only expect after 3+ years.
If it’s Bay Area then they should be able to offer 300k+ TC for SDE2
even in seattle it is possible 300k with level 5
