Just landed a Senior SWE position at Amazon and wanted thoughts on the numbers: Base: $180000 1st Year Sign-On: $150000 2nd Year Sign-On: $110000 110 Restricted Stock Units Estimated Y1 Total Comp: $345,000 (including base, bonus, and RSU vest) Asking since Amazon just removed salary caps. On levels.fyi it looks good for an SWE3/L6 role. Is it worth negotiating and if so, which area is best/most likely to try --> base, bonus, RSUs? YOE: 5 Current TC: $160 Thanks! #amazon #facebook #meta #google #apple

What you read on Blind about 450-500 k offers are for New York and the Bay Area. Your offer seems to be good for LCOL. you can try to negotiate more but don't expect like NYC offer
Great offer for 5 YOE Lcol
Senior SWE (L6) at Amzn can be around 450-550k. Your current numbers are at the top end of L5. Definitely negotiate on all aspects. Do you have any other Senior Offers in hand?
I don't, next best offer is $260k, so none of my other offers are close. I am going from mid-level/associate engineer to senior so wasn't sure if my previous experience and also coming from non-big tech has anything to do with the TC. I also live in a MCOL city so my jaw dropped to the floor when the recruiter said the TC.
It’s an amazing offer for MCOL. The high numbers are for NYC/Bay Area. Congratulations OP! 🤟🍾
