Total comp vs salary - finance analyst AWS
Hi all, So I’m discussing with a recruiter comp for a financial analyst salary. This is what I requested for TC: Base: $81,000 Stock: 15-25 RSU Bonus y1 & y2: $10,000-$15,000 Total comp year 1: $92,350-$93,250 They came back with “In terms of salary – our max total comp for FA role is $83k” they use salary and TC in the same sentence which is a bit confusing. From my understanding Amazon has a max band on salary which would be 83k + bonus & RSU to go beyond that band? Or is there a hard cap on TC? Thanks!
Depends on where you’re located. Most places do TC caps so that’s not unusual. Starting out FA vs second year FA usually sees a decent pay bump as well no matter where you are simply because you go from no knowledge to actually useful. Depending if you’re a desired market area (Bay Area, NY, DC etc) base can be upwards of 90 company dependent (and previous exp or internship). Mid markets (Denver, Chicago etc) highest would be closer to 75.
This would be in Seattle so 93k was my target. Switching from accounting to finance
Hi OP, I'm switching from accounting to analyst too and will move to Seattle from Vancouver at the end of next year. Aiming at big tech companies. I'm competent with SQL(took a class at local school), Python and pandas but no related work experience. Do they consider this as zero YoE??
No, you need working knowledge
I’ve seen an offer for senior financial analyst at 126k base with 12% bonus, he had 4 years exp. non big 4 tech company generating 1 billion
So L4 can’t pay more than 83k on TC, not just salary?
