Evaluate my Amazon offer

8 yrs work experience. Currently in Redmond with TC 250K at L63. Amazon offer is for California. Can anyone share tips on how to negotiate base? Watched interviewing.io seminar videos, want to hear from people who successfully navigated negotiations. Hopefully this can be first time I can negotiate successfully. #engineering #engineering #software #swe #aws #amazon #microsoft

Don’t forget the mental pressure comes along.. so make sure you increase your tc that can justify the mental torture

And make sure you account for therapy + hospitalization potential

Don’t join Amazon PIP factory! Get L64 to slightly increase your salary.

In HCOL, last I checked, L5 can get about 380k/yr TC.

8yoe, L6 is an appropriate jump, imo you are down leveling yourself

Wouldn't work for Amazon for less than $500k in CA. Not worth the stress.

Microsoft QtQe May 5

So 500k is worth the stress? Ok

It might be if it retires you in 3-5 years

8yrs and L5 Amazon is a no-go, unless you are desperate to just land a job
