Is it true that Amazon has a hard cap on base salaries of 160k for engineers? Do they inflation adjust that cap ?
Depends on location, which location you are asking for ?
Boston
185k max in bay area.. $160k max in rest of the US.. the numbers might be off by plus minus 5k.. but you got the point.. no inflation adjustments made till date.
$185k for what level?
At a certain point, the majority of your comp comes from stock.
Yes to your first question. And no to your second.
