Hi folks, I recently interviewed with Amazon for an L5 role and got the first numbers today. These numbers seemed good to me but I could be wrong given the offers in the current market. Team - Non AWS Location - Seattle Base: 160k Sign on: 119 + 85 Stocks: 77 RSU TC - 289k Is there scope for negotiation? The only counter offer I have at the moment is Microsoft with a TC of 245k for 62. Waiting on Google HC result, doordash and indeed on-site results. TC - 190k 5 yoe #amazon #offers #microsoft
Seems kinda low with the 400k+ L5 offers around. Try pushing for 350k + at least.
You are joining at about 90% band penetration. I think they can do better for external offers. Try to max it.
You can easily go up to 360. Keep your base at 150, so you still have room to increase in later years. I got a 340 initial offer 2 wks ago
How long did they take to get back to you?
Aws/Non Aws doesn't matter but the numbers are good, not great. You must wait for DD numbers and use those as counter offer. Also, it is illegal for anyone to ask you for your competing offer letter (they can ask for numbers tho) so you can easily bluff and get some extra pay
That’s the part I was curious about. Without a competing offer to beat this TC would Amazon be willing to negotiate. Hopefully I hear back from DD soon. Thanks.
You can cook up an offer and use it for negotiation, you just have to make it believable. Remember Amazon needs you more than you need Amazon. Nobody wants to join here and use that for your advantage. DD E5 offer can start from 360 and go will 420 from what I have seen.
