I am an ex Amazonian, worked for a year and a couple months from 2014-2015 for AWS. I was a straight-out-of-college hire.
Base: 93k
Stock: 177 options over 4 years.
bonus: 30k signing bonus upfront + relocation to Seattle, additional 25k after 1 year tenure spread out in 12 payments, one per month
Review: Exceeds, and Rolemodel for Amazon leadership principles.
Gender: M
Native English Speaker: Yes
More info: I was promised a promotion and raise, but the problem was they only do promotions once a year, in april. Once I said I was going to leave, I was offered $120, but I left anyways.
Now I moved out of seattle and am making more, but in a lower Cost of living location.
Also, I had to pay about 8k for "relocation" back to amazon because I left before 2 years.
