Is this good enough? Base Salary: $130,000 RSU’s: 62 Sign on Bonus in year 1: $50,000 Sign on Bonus in year 2: $40,000 PhD and 3 YOE. Later edit: location - Seattle.
Location? Seems low. Applied Scientists are highest paid in Amazon AFAIK
I can confirm this. I am an PhD+5 YoE L5 AS here. You definitely got low-balled. If you did well in your interview, 230k+ is the something you can expect. If you marginally cleared the interview, negotiating power is less. Either way, you can do much better than this. Negotiate hard. What's the location?
@Amazon: how’s the AS WLB?
In Bay Area a friend joined Amazon with a ML PhD + 0 YoE, his TC is around 250k.Sign on bonus for year 1 is 100k and for year 2 is 80k. Base is 150k. No stocks in first year.
Did you get hired as L4 or L5? It’s very low for a PhD+ your YOE.
Why did you go for L4? Thats for freshgrads or no-phd
Yeah I got to know that at the offer time. My bad didn't ask from start.
Hey, I have an interview for Applied Scientist in the next days. Can I dm you for some details about the interview? Thanks
How did it go?
So a $113k initial RSU grant that vests over 4 years? Also what’s the yearly refresher? And performance bonus?
It's Amazon...
It’s low so I’m confused
