i have the following offer from Amazon AWS team in Dallas, TX. Base - $1,10,000 RSU (4 years) - $75,000 Relocation - 5000 Since i live in Oklahoma Joining bonus - 10,000 Hows this offer? Is low any room for further negotiation? #amazon #dallas #dfw Current TC - $90,000
Very low
I have 3 yoe
Looks fine for Dallas. But why Dallas if you are anyways moving? What's wrong with Seattle?
Basically from mid west and wants to live in Midwest
That doesn't look quite right. I don't think SDE2 comp in even a discount market in the US should be that low for an external hire. In standard markets, generally around 200k, going up to 250k if you have competing offers. New grad SDE1 comp in Seattle is in 140-150k range, BTW.
Seattle is higher.
That new grad number is from a year or two back, so may be out of date. SDE2 top of band number in Seattle is current, though band is about to go up by 15% by all reports (to around 280-ish top of band). Any way you slice it, no reason to take a 120-130k SDE2 offer.
This is not an SDE2 offer. Are you sure you weren’t downleveled and getting an offer for SDE1?
I have 3 yoe and I believe I was lowballed too for SDE 2. BTW are there any annual bonuses and performance bonuses at Amazon? Or any stock refreshers?
Depending on your performance, you may have it but it won’t be something big. Mostly, it would be stock to cover up the salary increases.
Which AWS teams are in Dallas?
This looks like SDE1. Confirm with the recruiter.
Most likely downleveled to SDE1
You weren't low balled, you were downleveled. This is a SDE1 offer. Confirm with your recruiter
Generally how many yoe is required for SDE 2?
You have the yoe for sde2 but either you were never looped as a sde2 or some of the interviewers weren't convinced you met the sde2 bar but rather meets the sde1 bar and therefore the offer.
Even for sde1 this is low. Really really low
This is Sde1 offer but its still a good jump. I think you should take it.
