    I think you should aim for 90k+ TC. London is really expensive.

    I just got hired by AWS. I said number at absolute top of level (in levels.fyi). It’s a risk. I figured they could always negotiate you down, but you’d never be able to negotiate them up. Then your performance in the on-site is most important.

      Your situation may be different from mine. If recruiter is asking PRE phone interview, I suppose they already have a budget and are trying to screen people. If the levels fyi says $80 (median) - $100 (top). Why not give them that range? You’ll probably not be screened out since and if you do well in the interview you can ask for $100.

  • Mention whatever you like on phone interview. My first offer was like 50k if what I asked for initially and I still negotiated.
