AWS Sales Prescreen - Comp Expectation

Jun 16, 2020 23 Comments

I have 10 YOE of which 7 years in sales. I just got AWS sales prescreen document from the recruiter with a lot of questions. They are asking for my compensation expectation. Any advice? Also, how much technical knowledge do they expect the sales reps to have? Thanks!

    You will be expected to have or learn 100-200 level (high overview to somewhat in depth) technical knowledge of around 50 different core services.

    You’ll probably come in as an L6 anywhere from 250-350 TC would be my guess but it depends on which role specifically.

    I just went through this exact process and I didn't leave it blank, but left a non-answer. They will discuss comp with you prior to the loop

    • Did you have to fill out the questionnaire as well? It has basic questions about my current role etc. Ideally I want to keep it brief and leave the details for the phone screen. Not sure, if I’m expected to follow any specific format while answering.

      Yes, I responded to all of the questions. I would say just have brief professional responses and you’ll be fine

    • IT Consulting versus AWS TC is drastically different. You’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. Leave the no. blank and let them come to you with a offer.

    Don’t put a number. Or if you feel you have to I would do a TCC $200k. Also go hard on signing. My former coworker got a $75k signing
