Hi all,

Was hoping I could get some feedback on my Amazon job offer working as an Account Executive in Amazon Marketplace

L4
Base - $66k
1st Yr Bonus - $58k
RSU 1st year - ~$6k
Total Comp - $130k
YOE - 6 years of sales experience.

The base seems awfully low even by Amazon's standards. But I feel that Amazon is more likely to increase my bonus or my RSUs. Saw someone else from Amazon (AE - L4) post on here stating that they their total comp is $155k so kind of feel that I'm being low balled.

    Oh this is an marketplace role, yeah that comp is pretty good. The rsu and sign on bonus is pretty high for L4, so I’m assuming that’s why your base is lower

    Why would you go to marketplace if you have 6 years of sales experience, even if it’s not SaaS. Go be a DGR at AWS and you’ll make more than that AND you’ll actually be in SaaS

      They make more, actually, and they have AWS sales experience which is much more transferable in tech. Someone I know landed a DGR offer there and OTE before sign on and stock is the same as this role is offering all in for year 1

      I think quality of experience plays a factor
      Most of my sales experience is account management related and non-technical
      Not having technical sales experience is definitely holding me back

    The base is really low but the TC is right inline with what you should expect as an L4 (though slightly lower middle).

    Try negotiating/ trading bonus for salary.

    How many shares are they offering over the 4 years? You don’t want to dig into this too much as this will help increase your pay YoY

    I’m on the AWS side of the house. This is really terrible offer from what I’ve seen.

    As an L4 AE you will more than likely be the first fat trimmed when your team is underperforming.

    On top of that your comp is low because this is the .com side of the house. I would really recommend having a serious conversation with the recruiter about whether or not this role is truly a good fit for you

    Also on a comment about DGRs for AWS. They are out earning this offer for the first two years of employment without commissions. Just some food for thought

      Yeah I could only get an interview for the .com roles
      I’m not seeing any open positions for DGRs
      Is that usually an entry level role for people wanting to sell AWS?
      I’m seeing a lot of lead development representatives job postings for AWS so I’m wondering if the title has been updated
