Current TC (Total YoE 5.5. Been with AMZN since 13 months) = ~ 34L - Base 22.5L - Sign-on 1st year : 10.5L - RSUs : 1 (25 RSUs vested over 4 years) Discussing with few teams (aws/alexa) in Seattle. How much TC I should look for ? Will there be a room for negotiation (because current TC is on the lower side of SDE2 for 5.5 YoE) ? How will be the path to SDE-3 then? Is it again 2-3 years (average) after I join ?
in Amazon L1 transfer, do they give extra shares? OR its only the base that is changed? Also what happens to OP's second year sign on? Asking because I am evaluating Amazon, they haven't shared TC yet.
1. TC can be anywhere from 182k to 240k (Seattle Sde2 range). No negotiation. Take it or leave it offer. 2. Sde3 promotion path is the same. No guarantee that you will be promoted within 2-3 years. However, if you work on the right impactful projects, you can definitely get to the next level in this time range.
Thanks. For the appraisal part, will they consider the work done in India teams ? In case the transfer happens in middle of the year ?
Less likely unless it was something very significant.
