Is moving from Microsoft to Amazon right decision? Microsoft level 62. Amazon L5. Location: Hyderabad India. Microsoft Fixed INR 31 Lakhs Performance Bonus = upto 20% Stocks: INR 3.5L per year (not completed 2 years, so nothing vested till now) Amazon: Fixed INR 30.5L Sign on bonus , first year 19L, second year 14.5 Stocks: 19 YOE: 8
TC & YOE. Without any details there is no way to help .
Hell no. Amzn holds back so much unless ur there for a long time. Takes 3 years to vest 401k and most of stock is after 4 years
L63 to Amazon L5 is a downlevel. L6 is the senior level at Amazon
My level is 62 currently in Microsoft
Go attend Indeed, ServiceNow and Salesforce. Use this offer to further negotiate. Not much of a rise for a switch to Amazon. Staying at MS for 2 years for 63 doesn't make sense either
19 stocks? Are you kidding us? Or you averaged 19 per year?
Oh you're going to "love" this change in "culture"
Why would you accept a decrease in base pay?
I also have the same doubt, but hr has increased the signon bonus. They are not willing to increase base pay. I am considering this because of work quality in my team is really bad and other teams are not considering me because I haven't completed a year in MS yet. I am hoping better work quality in Amazon.
At any point in time during your negotiations did you mention being unhappy in your current environment? Remember that it is only your base pay which is considered for future increments/bonuses, or even when you change jobs. The joining bonus is just a one/two time deal. You can't use that as a number in future to negotiate on top of, when you change again. I believed amazon had a higher range for L5 offers.
Depends on the TC and you prospectice promotion for L63 at Microsoft
Updated, 63 is not happening for 2 years at least
