Amazon L5 PM Comp Expectations <200k??

Apr 28, 2021 29 Comments

Got hit up by an Amazon recruiter for a PM (non tech?) role at Amazon Advertising in NYC. They asked what my salary expectations were and I said my target comp was 160-190k and they said that was doable. Realistically, how much am I looking at? Have some potential items in the works so trying to figure out if it’s worth to interview

just to clarify, this is a program manager role. I’m not technical save for some SQL knowledge

2.5 YOE, TC 150k

    Never tell them your company expectation numbers! If you did, you’ll need to recalibrate their expectations later. Read any article on this

    • Guys just to clarify, this is a program manager role. I’m not technical save for some SQL knowledge. That’s why I was wondering if I cooked geg this comp as someone in BizOps

      I thought it was PM Product Manager. Were you a Program Manager (ie Product Manager equivalent) at MS?

  • 160-190k, next time don’t answer that question because you just anchored yourself.

    • Your happiness has very little to do with the maximum amount they’re willing to offer you.

      Oddly enough I did the same thing (with Amazon) and they gave me an offer TC 30% more than I said. Pretty confused but pleasantly surprised. I think they look at the salary range and your aptitude when determining a number.

    Google negotiation 101. Hopefully this anchoring doesn’t fuck your over.

      I meant Google how to negotiate to save yourself in future situations like this. Asking about comp on blind or other websites is fair but you should have snaked out of the comp expectation question.

      Also, “non tech PM” usually still means product manager

    Always ask for 150k more than you “think” you should get.
