Seeking any guidance on potential counter options

Senior BD Manager
L6
Location: Seattle
Base Salary: $159k
Sign on Year 1: $158k
Sign on Year 2: $120k
RSUs: 108 units (today's value= $377k)
Year 1 TC = $336k

Based on limited posts on Amazon BD roles in this forum on compensation, I'm thinking I could get around $350 - 370k for first and second year. Trying to decide how I want to counter, and which levers to counter on (RSU's? Sign on?)

    Worth a shot, get as much as you can before you join. At this level of comp it'll be tough to get more after you join. I would guess they won't give you all of that but decent chance they can raise it a little. It's safe to assume at that point they have you as much as they could

      OP
      They countered today with the following:

      Base: $159k
      RSUs: 108 shares
      Sign on Yr1: $168k
      Sign on Yr2: $125k

      TC for first year = $347k

      So it's not much of a change, but recruiter did indicate that this is top of band for L6, and I wouldn't get raises unless I get promoted (with the only potential incremental raise being taking my base to 160k).

      I will accept this number.

    Hey OP... I realize this post was a while ago, I was curious your total YoE? I am interviewing for a BDM role (L5 for now, hoping to get hired at L6) at Amazon and thinking I can ask for a higher TC. Thank you!

      I have 22 years of work experience approx (post under grad), 12 years post MBA. I have a varied mix of working in tax accounting for that first decade, and the last decade working in tech in various business operations and product management roles.

    At L6 this a solid offer for tech BD, pretty sure that's near top of the band. L7 tech BD promo is super difficult, and it's possible you wouldn't get much of a raise when it happens due to a high starting TC and stock appreciation, just something to consider.

      I'm thinking about countering with 143 shares (approx $500k RSU's), and sign on bonus of $190k 1st year and $150k 2nd. That would give me $380k TC average for the first two years, dropping down to $359k for years 3 and 4.
