Amazon BIE L5 Salary

Has anybody joined the Amazon BIE L5 role recently or is aware of the salary expectations for Seattle/Bellevue? The recruiter had mentioned 130s base but is there scope to push? What do other components look like? #data #dataanalytics

Can you please share the loop round experience?

4 rounds with 2-3 LP questions and on skill each. Skill for BIE is SQL, visualization, problem solving aka case studies and analytics. For LP, questions it was project related story with few follow ups. SQL was medium, viz is basically experience with dashboarding or hypotheticals, case study could be related to what metric would be relevant to a product launch.

Man that is weak.

Macy's Ken1 May 23

Yeah. It’s kinda bummer. People joined in 2021 on L5 got about 220K+

BIEs are way underpaid for the work they do here.

Macy's Ken1 May 23

Are you BIE?

Amazon RiffSurge May 23

No

It’s 150K base

Amazon jkFr55 May 23

I doubt. 150 base is more for a DE.

Amazon qwertyamzn May 23

They tricked you for sure!

Is Amazon still doing PERM for green card ?

Macy's Ken1 May 23

Not for this year.

Based on the response from Ken1 it seems that they’re drastically reducing the compensation for l5 L6 and L7. I think that reflect the fact that amazon is not growing at a pace It was growing 8 to 9 years ago as a result revolutionary engineers may not be high. As a result of compensation reflect that fact.

Depends on the team. For l5: If it’s AWS, max tc would be around 180-190 For other orgs, it would be around 160-170

Just push and always negotiate. Mostly likely they will adjust RSU. Also be mindful about what kind of team you will be join. Meaning BIE at Amazon are often asked if wanting to be DE, DS or product manager. Some DE managers even think BIE should always want to be DE. There are not many Principal BIEs at Amazon. If you are at a more science driven team you are kind of losing your voice vs if you are in a more analytics driven team. Unless your end goal is to transition to DS.
