I've heard from a few former Amazonians the same story: Amazon puts a hard cap on stock grants too, so if the stocks grow and you're due to a stock refresher, that stock refresher is withdrawn on the grounds of "your current stock has grown enough already". The total comp numbers are just OK in Amazon too.
- amzn-throw 6y agoFrom reading Blind, total comp ranges for a Sr. SDE (~10-15% of the company) is 250-400k In what world is that "just ok"?
- rootsudo 6y ago1. Everyone on Blind lies. 2. People who are there previous five years are quoting their TC w/ current stock prices, people who recently onboarded do not have the same strike price and will be less. 3. Golden handcuffs, and apparently non-compete. It sounds nice on paper, but spend some time in Downtown and go to a few Amazonian bars and you'll figure out alot of the downsides. Especially if you're at any of Amazon projects that aren't really..working e.g. Blue Origin.
- Thorrez 6y agolevels.fyi estimates Sr. SDE has $304,787 total comp. But I'm not sure whether the stock component is at vest price or grant price. https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Amazon/Google/Facebook# https://www.levels.fyi/SE/Amazon/Google/Facebook#
