Amazon isn't known for Silicon Valley comp levels either.

  Their “philosophy of total compensation” used to actually penalize you for past RSU grants appreciating beyond projection. Even with a strong review you’d hear things like you can’t get a salary bump, because you’re already over your target compensation. I wonder if that’s still the case.

    Over time I've learned to tune out the reasons that employers use to justify changes to total comp. I just don't see why their reasoning would matter to me. I find it more useful to make my own assessments about what I could make elsewhere, and whether or not (all things considered) I want to continue with my current employer.

  Washington Amazon employees don't have to pay the heavy SV taxes, either. At least until lately. Washington is working overtime to raise taxes to California levels.

  They're catching up with their new pay bands, SDE II is starting to get offers in 350k - 400k range. Can even go higher by Q1 next year.
