Received an offer for a SDE 2 at Amazon. I have 8 years of software engineering experience.
I am wondering if I am being low balled.
Location: Cupertino, CA
Base: 178k
Signing Bonus; 55k year one, 45k year two
RSUs: 175 units
Is it comparable to other SDE 2 comps at AMZN?
Want to see the real deal?

Here is what they are offering after my counter:
Base: 178k
Sign-on: 72k first year, 62k second year
RSUs: 194 units
They said because of the high stock price, they cannot go beyond that.
Also, very firm on L5. They said they cannot do L6 as most of the team is new, and everyone came in at either L4 or L5 on the team.
Assuming not, that's the best offer for an sde 2 I've seen and puts you in low sde 3 comp range.
Sde 2 range is 170-230
Sde 3 is 250-350
Base: 160k
Bonus: 78k + 58k
RSU: 180
Ofcourse I tried negotiating on RSU vs base

He answered all my questions regarding the coding problem, and even helped me get on track when I went slightly off.
