Amazon does not even pay a lot. It's 80% of everyone at best (yes, including the grossly overweight restricted stock units).
Amazon (among others) imports legions of new-graduates and mid-level engineers from oversees on a variety of visas, pays them the local wage but in the US. If you leave the company for any reason, you have something like 7 days to pack up and go home.
It's modern indentured servitude.
- barry-cotter 7y ago80% of the other FAANG companies is at least double what most developers make, right, at mid career? https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Amazon/Google/Facebook https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Amazon/Google/Facebook has Amazon at 116K, Google we 123K and Facebook at 112K, just cash for all three, not including bonus or stock, for entry level employees. Paying Chinese employees Chinese wages, but in America, would be both hella illegal and very obvious.
