An old manager from a previous job went to Amazon and is inviting me to apply for a role under his team. I will have a recruiter screen this week and need to share my comp expectations. I see from the job postings that base salary for IC6 is up to $180k and manager 6 is up to $210k in Seattle, but what about stocks? Edit: I was informed external hires can get $180-$240k TC. It all depends on interview performance. A little low if you ask me. Thanks TC: $280k
Anyone else have insight?
If you’re trying to be recruited for IC, your odds of getting 180K base is less than 1 percent
May I know why?
I heard the max offer for Finance Manager now is 140K
You won’t get 280k TC as an L6 FM in Amazon. Source: I’m an L6 FM
Less than $280k
~ 185 TC Max is 220-230
It’s very low, yes.
L5: $103-$125k L6 IC: $146.6k to $184.2k (or 164-206K. Base 95-164K) L6 MFM: $187-$241k (base 139.1k-188.2k) SFM: $270-373k
Are those in Seattle or NY/Bay Area?
We found the hero of this thread. What I learned after doing some more digging is: - Current employees make $130-$240k+ depending on a variety of factors. - Some didn't get stock refreshers and already have had a cliff in TC - Base comp had a revision a little while ago. The max base used to be $160k for any Amazonian, but now this has increased - Stock refreshers suck at Amazon. Other companies give refreshers every year (so top performers can stack TC beyond the initial grant) Good to know. thanks folks
You may not get $280k TC as L7 finance in Amazon! Maybe I need to spend some time exploring Gitlab jobs
Gitlab pays 160-200k base for an equivalent FM level. Plus 30-60k in stocks. I make 280k because of refreshers. GitLab is not the only one. Do your research.
why leaving such a lucrative job for 🍌?!?
Wow finance guys are paid well.
Here's a thought, ask your old manager.
He gave 180k base plus 60k stocks. I gave this number to the recruiter.
240 total is almost 100% band penetration, which at the moment would require addition approval. It would not likely be 240K
