I am getting 320k as Sde3/l6 at Amazon. Starting to feel I am underpaid. 8yoe all at Amazon. Is this TC normal for engineers who has not switched jobs? This year overall comp remained the same but the base pay got 25% increase. #software #swe

    That’s probably right for your situation of not switching jobs and I’m assuming it’ll go up next year because of additional RSU? Could you be getting more outside of Amazon based on your level and YOE, assuming you interview well? Definitely

    320k is TC or TCT? What’s your TCT for 2033? HCOL or LCOL? Lots of variables here

    Internal bands:

    SDE : Seattle
    L6 : 168k - 227k base 348k - 481k TC

    SDE : Bay Area / NYC
    L6 : 185k - 250k base. 384k - 530k TC

    And remember that external offers can go much higher depending candidate.

    With that, your TC is not only low, but a bit concerning (lower than band minimum). Hopefully you are not put under LE (PIP fear).
    Whats’s your TCT for 2023?

      Wow what a total buffoon you are 😂. He is below band like countless other non q1 promo employees because new bands will come into effect next year. Why would you idiotically instigate PIP fear? Stupid moron

      Because in a PIP factory with notorious yearly URA quota, a wise person would take some proactive actions/steps/measure than reactive, rather than leaving it all to fate to decide.

      And by the way, learn how to write critics. Your words (and behavior) are your identity.

    Your upside is probably 550 in seattle. I’d say worth trying.
