Got an offer just now from Amazon SF for a DE (Data Engineer) position. TC: 250K Level 5 Base: 170K RSU: 82 (for 4 years) 1st yr bonus: 73K 2nd yr bonus: 55K YOE: 12 Is this a good offer?
What is DE?
Bad for yoe, decent for L5 I guess?
I think its solid for DE
In IT, yoe doesn't matter much. If your new grad TC is 200K, you cannot expect 2M salary after 10 years. It starts higher but tapers off sooner than other sectors.
Solid offer
Thanks. Why are Data Engineers are offered much lower salaries when compared to SDE? Is the work for DE very easy at FANG?
Less correlated with products which generate revenue is the only thing I can think of
Good offer. SDE is a fungible role where engineers are expected to jump ships from one tech platform to another a lot. DE is a specific role. Moreover, DE comp is not decided based on SDE comps. Both move differently because they are independent job families. Supply and demand for that job family dictates general comp trends.
Very good for DE
Music?
