Amazon sign on bonus (L5)?
Levels FYI doesn't seem to indicate well the sign-on bonus (it shows bonus but the numbers are small, like 10k-15k, sometimes $0. Also, other than sign-on, I understood that there aren't any bonuses in Amazon). Can anyone tell me if $60k is a good number for L5 as a sign-kn bonus? (1st year, 48k for the second.)

You should negotiate your TC, not just the sign on. The target TC for all 4 years would be approximately same. Hence, they don’t just increase the sign-on. They also increase the stocks.
For sure. I just know that the base salary is not as negotiable as the RSUs... I know I can probably negotiate the stocks more. However, if I knew the room of maneuver they have over the sign-on bonus, I could try to negotiate actual cash value.
May i ask whats the base that they are offering for L5 role ?
$150k
I heard from one of my colleagues recently that for L5 role, he got $140K base + 70K bonus divided over first 2 years with company.
That sounds like an L4 offer. Super low end of the band L5 offer.
What does a high end L5 offer look like? When does it start to look like an L6 offer without the L6 loop?
It would depend on the location. Sign-on is a part that makes up the TC. You should instead focus on the TC. The structure of your TC is always the same.
Edited, Seattle. I want to negotiate and know if these numbers for sign on are negotiable (meaning average, below or above)
