Dear Amazonians and fellow Blinders I have a query hoping to get some help. My spouse (Fresh Grad 2020) got an SDE-1 offer today from Amazon for Seattle, WA location. I wanted to hear any experiences or policies where Amazon supports location change. We are looking for Sunnyvale/San Jose location. Answer for "TC or GTFO" 112K BASE /22K SIGN-ON/80K RSU OVER 4Y
That's crap comp for the location. The TL;DR answer for you is that your spouse got handed a bag of crap.
Was that your best answer? Lol!! you need some serious attention bro. What was your pay out of college? @OP. I would suggest replying to University Recruitment team (or whatever they call) and ask for it beforehand. I know a couple of cases where they are flexible when your significant other is involved. Worths a try.
If she got it for Seattle then she is offered a team likely based there. Remote SDE 1s are never a good idea, so the best way is for her to try negotiate changing to a team located on the Bay Area.
Thanks for your response @coatl. Her joining is In August. So I doubt they would have finalized a team. You would know better. What I meant was whether her location/team can be changed to Sunnyvale/San Jose CA or not. I was not asking for Remote option.
If she got an offer for Seattle, a team (at least an org) is likely already decided. There are relatively few teams that have presence in bay area, so speaking now about the change is recommended.
