    Why do people keep taking about base, when the total comp is most often twice that ?

    • Total comp only matters in years 3+. Given Amazon is often a bit of a shitshow to work at and some orgs have annual turnover up around 20% you need to be careful thinking about it as your income..

      Vpjh- I see your point now.

      I've always wanted to know something from the Amazon guys who have been at amzn for more than 5 years.

      Since base pay doesn't really go up the only way you get a salary increase is via stock right ? So how do simple things in life work like paying a mortgage for a big house ? Because you don't get the majority of your pay bi-monthly.

    Should be pretty decent (~300K total comp for SDM, but depends on the level). Now, making it to Sr SDM is pretty hard (directors in other companies map to SDM at Amazon) and culturally Amazon can de pretty harsh for SDMs without a big tech company background.
