Amazon scope of negotiation

Aug 23, 2019 8 Comments

I got an offer from Amazon for a L5 level for Simulation and Design Engineer
Base -140k
Joining Bonus of 54K
RSU - 55

It seems like a lot low to me for Seattle, how much maximum can I counter the offer and how much Amazon is flexible in each component.

YOE -14

    I could be wrong but it seems like you didn’t make the cut for L6 so they offer you 5. Ask them for some data points to negotiate. And if you ain’t in a rush to take a new gig, wait out. Promo is a b1tch that you don’t see very often.

    Ask your recruiter if that role is considered a technical role or not (you'd be surprised what is not). Levels.fyi reflects pay primarily for SDEs, and other roles (particularly those classified as non-tech) have different pay bands even at the same level. An Amazon L5 is not at all the same across all role titles, and the less common roles are difficult to dig up crowdsourced data on.

    Agree. This is a low offer. Good L5 would be more like 150k base, 200k bonus, 120 rsus
