I don't think Amazon pays well. I turned down an offer from Amazon recently. It was to work in an area that was nearest and closest to my heart. Unfortunately their offer was 50 to 100k behind other offers.
- nemtaro 11y agoAmazon does _not_ pay as well as Google/FB/Apple/Twitter/Netflix/LinkedIn/Salesforce/etc.
- raverbashing 11y agoAnd at least for Google, their salaries, except for the top tier maybe cannot be considered as 'pays well'
- chrisper 11y agoReally? Whenever I see people talking about Google they always say "pays really really well." Care to elaborate why you are saying that?

- ams6110 11y agoEvidently they pay well enough to hire the talent they need.
- rattray 11y agoThey have 4,500 open positions in Seattle alone.
- bethling 11y agoI don't know. When I made the decision to leave Amazon, my offers at Facebook and Apple were less than what I was making at Amazon. Google was only slightly more.
- kelukelugames 11y agoI encourage you to learn to negotiate better. Just like hen companies go from round A to round B, their share price should jump up. ;)
- vowelless 11y agoI followed your interviewing guide. It is very useful. But seriously, 50 to 100k more? That sounds like a huge differential. That means going from 100k to 150-200k.
- kelukelugames 11y agoamazon pays even their college grads more than 100
- bethling 11y agoThis is very true, it's something that I've never done well, and have always been really uncomfortable doing. When being a hiring manager, I always expect the candidate to make significant counter offers, but it's not something that I've ever been able to do effectively on my own behalf.
