    How come in any poll where Amazon pays more people vote Amazon, but in any other thread people will tell you not to join Amazon at all costs? (serious question)

    • If that were really the case then Hardware engineers would be earning more. In a capitalistic environment, pay is proportional to your value and the supply-demand ratio.

      The fact that even many Senior Hardware with 10+ YOE engineers earn less than 2 YOE SDE2’s is a sign of their relative value to the company.

      I think your numbers are off. Maybe this is true at some companies but certainly not at apple, Microsoft, Facebook, google etc. these companies just have more money to spend therefore to offer. Also depends on the type of HW. It’s very broad. Digital design is being paid pretty good now.

    Looks like a solid offer from Amazon, about middle of the new band I think. Advantage of Amazon is that L6 is a really broad level (with a lot of scope) that encompasses senior & staff level, so you can spend some years at L6 and then try for staff at another place. Disadvantage is that promo may take longer. It’s a career level for a lot of folks.

      The only β€œrelevant” experience an MBA candidate has is an internship in target industry. About 10% of the class goes for an MBA after undergrad and A-Z doesn’t care if you have 3YOE pre MBA or 0. You still get L6.

      Bachelors + mba with 0 YOE grants an L5. Yet to find an L6 without prior relevant professional experience.
