I am expecting an Amazon offer for a Principal Eng position in Seattle on an ML team. What would be a good TC target? I was thinking about 600 but wondering what would be the absolute max that could get approved. I got different numbers previously posted in Blind (590 and 650). Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I assume u r either a high T5 at Google or a new T6 at Google. Expect approx 20% jump. IMO that's reasonable. Anything more than that is better. 600K is upper end of PE and L7 managers. And remember Amazon gives u 4 yr TC upfront and and assumes 15% YoY stock gain.
Number outdated. 670k is very easy now.
670k is easy even for Seattle? I know that Bay Area numbers could be even higher but have no clue about the range in Seattle.
I do have competing offers in the 600k range. I hope Amazon will be willing to compete. 500s seems low to me, as FB E5 and G T5 could also reach that number with good competing offers and refreshes.
Is this for Seattle or Bay Area ?
Seattle, as written in the post.

What’s the result? What’s your final offer? Did you end up with joining amazon?
Actually 400 is also a PE salary (lowest end). I think u could try 520 perhaps. 600 is actually very close to the higher end and unless you are already L6 at G you may not have enough leverage.
