Got an offer for SDM (L6 I think, dont know how to tell) Base - 160k Joining bonus - 200k (first year), 150k (second year) RSUs - 500k Thoughts? #amazon
Got more or less the same offer for L6 SDE in Seattle (+15k sign on/+10k the next year)
Sounds like a low ball. Someone posted that L6 pay range has been calibrated. Should be at least 450k
L6 should be atleast 600k. Else dont join
So more stocks or more joining bonus from your source? I believe the base is capped.
Oh i was talking about bay area. Not sure about Seattle. 200 base. And somehow using joining bonus plus stocks need to ensure each of first few years is 550 +
L65 to L6 is a down level. Don’t join. Ask for L7.
This statement is false. L65 would never make L7. L65 is L6. Except L6 pays better.
Know so many L62/L63 who join Amazon as L6. Also know a few L65 who join Amazon as L7. Quite a few in fact.
Are you making close to 400K after recent stock appreciation? So comp will not be a factor in move then.
Not even close :( my TC is around 325
Total TC coming to $400k for L6 SDM. I have seen recent offers go higher. Amazon is having tough time hiring so definitely you can ask for $500k and take it if it crosses at least $425. Remember you won't get any hike till you get to L7 which might take 3-4 years.
I think the numbers overall align with what I have heard from my Amazon friends. Which level in Msft ? How many years as a manager ? I am also in the process with them as an sdm, how was their interview overall ?
Why are you switching from Salesforce to Amazon?
L65, 3 years as manager, interview was fairly straight forward.
