#engineering #amazon I am in my 3rd year at Amazon, based on my recent pcs my target total comp for 2025 decreased. So want to understand is this normal. And have few questions 1) My understanding was target total comp for next year should be equal or greater than previous years. Is that not true if so what scenarios would cause that 2) Does this mean if i do not get Exceeds Rating wont my total target comp increase in future years as well 3) Last 3 ratings i have been getting Meets High Bar could this be a reason? More details Rating : Meets High Bar 2024 TC increased by 60k (than what was set in 2023 pcs yr) because of stock growth L5 SDE
But how come target was more in 2023 and less in 2024. For example in 2023 target was set 260-270 and 2024 target was set 250 roughly 15k less than previous year which makes no sense to me. And i am not even closer to higher band of L5
Look at your 2024 without stock growth in last year.
Yes that was my previous comment in 2023 for 2024 it shows 267 in 2024 for 2025 it shows 252 15k decrease in target
2024 went up due to stocks, but that's not necessarily the target
Target is set by company for your role and is confidential. With stock growth high chances you went way over your target
Specifics will vary, but idea is to give the illusion of target comp including stock growth. If you are above target, not much grants, if you are below, you will get grants but they will lag so there will be a year or two of below target comp.
