I was offered 190k base. About 270k tc though. However, they were willing to go higher for Sr UX position and I didn't bother negotiating because I went with a different company.

Even for Bay Area Amazon salary is capped at 185k, interesting you can get a base higher than cap

Not at yahoo. This is my old email. I've changed companies

Amazon L9er Oct 31, 2017

Which company, if I may inquire?

$170

That’s way more in line with what I’ve heard and seen.

This was a year ago but I was flat out told cash salary was capped at $165k, and they would try to match or exceed whatever you have currently through RSUs. Back loaded RSUs.

L5: 125-145k base, 160-200k TC L6: 145-170k base, 200-250k TC

So if I were to join today as a regular (non-senior) UX Designer position I could get up to $200k TC? Seems high, or maybe not?

We normally don’t bring folks in externally at the top of the range. I’ve seen 180k being offered though.

As an L6, I was offered $160k base , $260k TC. My advice would be get an offer from another top tech company. That's what I did. When I gave Amazon my other offer, they matched it.
