2nd year Asc. here - just received an offer from Amazon for a Sr Product Manager role. Base: $152K, Signing bonus: $80K (paid out over 2 years) and RSUs worth $140K paid out over 4 years (5%/15%/40%/40%). How much should I aim for during negotiations? At what number do you believe this opportunity is worth taking over staying at McKinsey to make EM?

Good luck! Amazon is notorious for not negotiating counters with the exception of relo.

I'm an ASC and would jump on that offer given the chance. Refer me? Haha.

Good luck staying 4 years

Even as EM you’ll get the same L6 level (just a bit higher on comp). So I’ll highly recommend to take it if you want to work at Amazon. You will only get L7 if you make AP. This is as good as it gets..
Try negotiate 10-20K more on RSUs, but even this is great..

like

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Amazon goes above 160K salary. You’ll need to negotiate RSUs

like

this is correct.

Thank you all for your comments! Sounds like it might be a better opportunity to move to Amazon now vs. waiting to be designated EM first. How should I think about taking this Amazon offer vs. trying to get into Facebook? Waiting to hear back on interviews from the FB recruiter.

like

Take Amazon over Facebook; anecdotally have heard from peers that Amazon as a company has its hand in more categories and thinking more long-term on innovation. Not sure that Facebook is as nimble as it used to be, so I feel like the “it’s startuppy!” argument is less relevant these days (and that’s also not considering whether you want for Zuck).

Bird in hand also.

like

OP any tips on how you’re reaching out to Amazon and FB recruiters and getting these offers?

Its a great opportunity and offer overall. Congratulations!! Definitely give a shot on the RSU negotiation. Im sure you have an impressive profile else they wouldn’t have such a strong offer. Have friends who got into L6 with 8+ yrs exp at base of $135 so you are definitely on the higher scale.

Would stay at MCK

like

Base and bonus look good. I would negotiate and increase the RSUs.

What happens after four years

Employees receive RSUs based on performance every year and so year 5 onwards is just performance based
