Which position is better in terms of work as they are pretty much same in their pay Expedia TC 202K Amazon TC 205K Also, is this a good compensation for SDE2 (4 years experience)
SDE2 range for Amazon varies between 190k (people on cliff) to 300k (high performers). External hires (like you) usually get at least the middle of the band.
No, SDE2 band tops out at 242k in Seattle. Your tc can go up to whatever from stocks.
I had 270k offer at L5 last year. This was AS though.
OP, you can get closer to 240k from Amazon if you did well on the interviews.
It is high for Expedia dev 2. Expedia is fairly chill and I've never seen someone get a PIP if that helps in your decision.
Just "high"? I would have said very high for expe, what are the components of the offer?
Yeah, this is phenomenal. It would be a good offer for a senior
I would prefer Expedia. Better work life balance because $$ is not everything.
That’s a really low SDE2 offer for Amazon.
Oh, then how does the range look normally?
Not sure, but I got 200 TC as an SDE1
