Im in AZ and have an offer to join Amazon’s Ring team as a BIE Base: 120k Sign on: 37k/26k RSUs: 43 on the standard 5/15/40/40 schedule Strong offer for the area and similar to what the offered to come to Seattle earlier this year. Current Org (financial company) is willing to match at 150k cash (130 base and 15% bonus) and give me a small team of 4. Curious as if people have thought a stop at Amazon opened up more opportunity down the road and what years 3/4 look like in terms of cash comp without the sign on. thanks.
Is that 43 RSUs over 4 years? What is your YOE?
Yes over 4 years. And 6 YOE.
You could take the counter offer and stay a year, then apply at Amazon after 12 months.
What do you see as the benefit of that. Just the management experience?
If you are happy where you are, you may not be happy at Amazon.
Not worth coming to amazon as BIE. I would take the counter offer, build a team, get that experience. Then in 12 months, you open a lot of other options in amazon.
What sort of options? Amazon is trying to tell me a team may be possible. Currently the ring office in AZ is supported out of PA. I’d be the first data hire in office here.

I thought Phoenix TC was similar than in Seattle...
Thought it was similar? Not sure what’s standard between the two markets, but I had recently been offered for Seattle, so they basically came with the same offer.
Don't go to Amazon
Any particular reason you feel that way? Based on your own experience or that of others? Thanks
Ring is a shitshow. Ask what the median tenure is.
I heard that Ring is one of the worst orgs at Amazon right now. I guess the guy in charge is a tyrant.
There is no good or bad Amazon, it is all team specific (I am 3 years with Amazon), but listen to others Ring is shitshow. If you get offer extended fro one team you can have easier interview with other. Try to find something in decent org AWS and Retail are good to learn ropes, Digital and Alexa are good for fast growth (but way more pressure).
Yeah I’ve heard similar, very org specific. Unfortunately in AZ I don’t have quite that many options for which Org. Thanks for the feedback
Being in year three, have you seen your base move much? Or is everything paid out in additional RSUs?
