Most of my friends left as they were done with the low pay and on call.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoAgain, what do you define as “low pay”. I’d really love to know! I’m on-call at this moment too. Like I said previously, either there’s a concrete reasoning for this or it’s just plain elitism.
- mav3rick 7y agoI'm not here to help you with your pay research. Just telling you my experience. There are many threads on Reddit and stats on levels.fyi to compare your offer with others. You clearly like being on-call and seem to be happy with your offer as well. Best of luck !
- akhilcacharya 7y agoI mean, I've made those posts on /r/cscq and contributed my standard offer to Levels.fyi. I'm fairly aware of what the range is - what I'm curious about is what you think is a good or bad offer. Is ~$145k TC bad to you?
- mav3rick 7y agoAssuming TC means Total Comp yes thats way lower than what Facebook and Google pay. Over 4 years salary + stock / 4 + signing / 4 is what I count as TC. Also no food and the horrendous equity vest schedule just makes Amazon lag behind in the list of prospective employers.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoThanks for your clarity in saying this, usually people take great pains to be politically correct about who they consider to be “lesser”. I’m a little taken aback that your line would be making $145k a year (the best liquid compensation I got across ~5 different offers when I graduated) though!
- mav3rick 7y agoAgain this is "lesser" in terms of an offer I would expect from F&G. Not lesser in terms of a person. You're taking this personal for some reason. I'd stop engaging now, best of luck at Amazon !
