I received an L5 offer this week. Available locations include Sunnyvale, Austin, Seattle, and Irvine. Have verbally spoken about comp for each location and was leaning towards Irvine. Sunnyvale: ~$360k Irvine/Austin/Seattle: ~$320k Would appreciate any thoughts/insight on what other people have received. Thinking about it as change of environment. Current Tc: ~$450k (with stock appreciation) YOE: 2 YOE #tech #amazon #amazonbenefits #amazonbonus
Current total comp $450k?
2 yoe 450k? 👀
Edited to Clarified in post. With stock appreciation that’s roughly the value
beware of these amazon scams here. they want you to buy that and interview with them. I dare this dude to show his offer letter. fake hr
Lol Does this seem like something that would attract talent to interview with amazon? 🥸
You want to move from 450k to 320k?
Would consider it for change of pace, environment, diversify experience and equity a bit.
Is there anything bad or wrong at your current workplace?
Also breakdown?
Only breakdown for socal. 190k base. The rest I’ll leave out as it can be deduced from the typical amazon vesting structure. Current workplace is great but I’m unsure if it’s moving in the direction I want from a culture standpoint. Also I take a lot of responsibility and roles to keep everything moving smoothly but don’t feel like I’ve been given good enough raises to feel like it’s that great to stay long term/the stock prices have been too heavily priced into the raises but this is only valid if stock continues to grow. Which there is no guarantee it will continue to grow or maintain the price going forward and not completely liquid
2 YoE and L5? What’s your background dude
I’ve been at a startup and worked on a wide range of things. Or maybe the bar is just low these days?
The bar isn’t low. And so you’re telling me you have 2 YOE and X amount of time at a startup and somehow your current TC is 450k ? Doesn’t really add up
Fake offer
Fake offer looks like a talent attraction post. Folks with 4-5 yoe get L4
This is why blind is toxic - Fake offers with unrealistic comps. That’s why most people here are unhappy.
What? This offer is real dude. Check out the MANY breakdown posts here in blind, including mine hitting 380k. I only have 2 yoe as well. I'll even share my offer letter with u. These people sheesh.
Boomerang?
Ah I previously worked there as an intern
You could most likely negotiate further. Do you have counter offers?
