I am a recently promoted L5 BIE and was given just 5% raise saying that I already had almost 10% promo raise in q4. My total comp for the L5 BIE is around 140k which includes 8-9 stocks vesting each year until 2024. My Forte was MHB and SH. Now after the downfall of Amazon stocks, my tc is not even 135k and I am damn sure even L4 BIEs are making more than me. I am sure that Amazon knew that their stock price was about to take a hit after 12-13 years of wild run, and still they decided to give us only minimal raise. On the other hand, new hire base itself is easily >140k. Before you ask ask me to get out of Amazon, let me tell you that I am an immigrant and stuck here because of visa reasons.
And they know you are here because of visa reasons and they are taking advantage of your situation. I was recently offered 215k for L4. You are indeed getting played my dear. God! I hate Amazon.
Lol, no way they can offer 215k for L4 BIE. You probably got an offer for l4 sde
my sister got offered 225K BIE L5
What was the Q4 promo raise for if you just got promoted?
10% standard raise
Visa reasons are stopping you to not change jobs ? Unless you are waiting for your I-140 ?
Yes the fkng i140
That takes 12-18 months and then you are free to change isn’t it ?
