Got amazon seattle offer for sde2. Following is the breakdown. This is final offer. Base : 150 k Bonus: 120 k Rsus : 105 Location : seattle Yoe : 8yrs So about 230 tc in seattle. Current tc : 280 k. Bay area. Tried to negotiate with amazon recruiter, but not willing to move. Am leaning towards declining this offer. Current job wlb is good, little doubtful about amazon. Does this make sense . Really 230 in seattle is greater than or equal to 280 in bay area ?
Top of line offer for the level. Must have missed sde3
Jealous that you didn’t negotiate properly?
Hm? I’m saying op barely missed sde3. This is a top sde2 offer
I'd guess 230 is at least equivalent to 280 in the two places. Washington has no state income tax, lower cost of living such as rent
Competing offers? SDE2 in Seattle tops at around 250k. To go higher you need SDE3.
No competing offers. Trying to figure out if it's worth the move.
At amazon the compensation you get offered is you compensation for the next 2 years or so. And even then you will need a promotion to move it significantly. Search for Total Compensation Target (tct).
Let it go. Amazon recruiters often come up with better offer once you tell them you are not accepting.
Not worth
Low offer for your yoe
Whats the range should I be expecting
