Now that Amazon is the top paying FAANG again, maybe behind Netflix a bit, but greater stock upside, so cancels out.

Will other companies have to bump up pay bands again?

It seems most people will join Amazon at least for 2 years to get the cash and bonus, some might stick around for 4 to get the stock upside as well?

Meta - is dead in the water, hard to work for a company that has lost its moral compass. Plus stock is dead for now.

Google- Lowball city.

Apple - very team and org dependent, super secretive, so your team selection could go either way due to lack of transparency.

Pre IPO big companies - Stripe, Instacart, etc. these companies are probably losing their evaluations given how the market is right now and will probably need a year or 2 , to fully recover.

    Amazon is NOT paying top of the band. Get your shit and facts together. Pay max cap increase doesn't translate into TC increase when compared to the likes of Google or Meta. The max cap applies to L4s through L10s all along. So it is a huge wide spectrum

    They can increase the cap to $100M. Doesnโ€™t mean you will be getting it. Stop getting excited over this.

      I am here to declare OP is correct. My brother's top band offer in India just got revised. Difficult to think others won't get revision/higher pay.

      Feel sorry for @vendet's team but he's Indian so I guess that's expected, probably from service companies too, lol. And dear sir @vendet, no need to use bhakt in derogatory sense.

      Well done! You have 1 data point and itโ€™s an external offer.

      OP
      Youโ€™re the one coming and spitting out racist epithets on a post that you could have totally not engaged on if you thought was unbelievable. You could have mentioned it in 1 of the 50 other comments you posted. Instead you doubled down on racial slurs and attacks, criticized my choice of food, attacked my identity and classified 1.3 billion people as people who make โ€œbrain fart argumentsโ€

      Now you pretend like you donโ€™t believe me?

      Is this your usual course of action when you donโ€™t believe someone? You insult them and attack them?

    What is this guy smoking? Iโ€™m at Amazon and it was NEVER the top paying faang. In fact, ALWAYS the lowest paying faang. It still isnโ€™t the top.

    Some people like living a lie it seems. Or smelling their own farts feels great ๐Ÿ˜‚

      Amazon was easily paying top of band when the stock tripled in 2017 while Google/FB stayed stagnant.

      However people in this thread are comparing Amazon TC in Seattle vs. Google/FB TC in San Francisco/Bay.

      No thatโ€™s not true. Iโ€™m comparing Google & FB average to Amazon average in Seattle. Comparing Amazon TT to Google FB average is just unfair.
