I received an offer for senior software engineer. Is it possible to negotiate for more or is this as good as it gets at toast right now? 165k base 200k stocks/4 years 5% bonus ~220k TC YOE 5 Current TC 270k
Is this for lcol?
It’s remote
Isn’t the comp specific to region even for remote?
Straight trash, dont leave anazon
Always negotiate. Good luck 👍
Were you able to get more?
Lol no
I’m curious why you would take a pay cut and go to a worse firm. Are things really that bad for you at Amazon?
Depends on the WLB and the remote work opportunities. I’m considering Toast for those reasons even if it means a pay cut at Staff+. I’d rather make less and have a better WLB and not have to commute ever again. That said, how is the WLB at Toast? Some of us aren’t chasing prestige we’re just looking to live comfortably and do something we enjoy doing without being stressed out 100% of the time. Which is why I’m at Wayfair and not Amazon right now 😂, but that ship has sailed since the forced RTO and multiple RIFs in 6 months.
It depends, I was “staff+” as you say and was involved in a literally *insane* byzantine mess of meetings where the org chart dissolved and every permutation of people with half a job title in my group existed as a distinct scheduled status sync of sorts. Ironically there was lots of lip service paid in all hands meetings precisely to wanting to avoid this kind of thing. Additionally, so much about the architecture and development process is overly complicated and shitty. Both of those factors meant that I found it hard to get much done in a normal 8 hour work day and so I felt I had to work extra to compensate. But your mileage may vary …
Are there RSU refreshers?
Congrats on your offer! What was the format of the first interview. I am interviewing with Toast this week Thank you!
How was your interview? Considering applying
270->220 with worse wlb?
I thought wlb at toast was generally good
It is good.
