Amazon L5 offer, Seattle BIE role TC: $179K (Year 1) Base: $115K Sign-on (year 1): $59K (year 2): $44K RSU: 68 unites over 4 years ~ $127K right now Current TC: ~$163K - $175K Base: $148K Bonus: $15K Stock: $15K YOE: 5 years Degree: Masters The year 1 total TC is slightly higher than my current TC but the base is really low. I was initially aiming for a L6 BIE or L5 DS at Amazon. However, the hiring team that I interviewed with doesn't have those positions available. Also in the interview loop with other companies. Suggestions? Recommendations? #TC #BIE #amazon
Did you tell them your current comp? Looks tailor made to be just a little higher. If you did, this is a lesson why you don't. Base is exactly median for level iirc. You should ask for more. Btw bie pay is lower than DS, but they probably didn't interview you for DS so you won't get that offer
Top of the band offer for l5 bie
Did you end up taking the offer? Do you mind sharing your TC?
If you are a good DS now and want to stay in DS then you should pass. Tell the recruiter you'd like to be reconsidered for DS. Should be lots of openings inside Amazon. Otherwise you can ask for more base less stock for that offer but I don't think they can match your Starbucks base.
