#amazon Got an offer as an L6 SDM with Amazon in Bellevue. Asked for 450 TC, got 359 TC for 1st yr 1st yr - 152 base , 185 sob and 170 rsu over 4 yrs with 5% vesting end of year one 2nd yr - 152, 140, 15% Moving from Walmart. Is a a good offer or should I be able to negotiate more?
Ya have a couple of competing offers
You could eadily hit 400 in that case
What's you current TC and yoe?
12yoe 350tc in bay area
Seattle area so top of band is just over 400k for L6 SDM. 360k is normal offer. You have some room to negotiate but you aren't going to get 450k unless you have critical specialized skills.
+1
Thanks guys
Fml..
@OP Moving from Walmart Bentonville?
Negotiate more. 420-430 is easily achievable. They may not change the base but go for more RSUs
Some says it is standard offer and you says easily achievable. I am not quite sure about the meaning of standard and easily achievable. It seems that standard offer is a synonym of low ball? If 420 430 are easily achievable, then 420 should be standard offer? Not 359k.
420-430 is L7 pay and would require VP approval OP is near the top of L6
Last year I got joined with 350k TC, it may be possible to get more but it's definitely not a low ball
Standard offer. How did you justify your ask for 450? Did you have or expecting a competing offer? If so, keep negotiating.
