Amazon L4 Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k
Sign-on: 43k
RSU: 825 shares
TC: 122k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Got an offer for non- tech Campaign & Creative Manager and wondering if its worth it to accept. I feel like I was lowballed & downleveld despite having 6 YOE (relev. but not in tech). Not sure it is smart to leave my current role to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

I’m an L4 that just started in March and my offer which I accepted was:

Base: 76k
Sign-on: 18k
RSU: 8 (160 post split)

I would have loved your offer! 😃 but apples to oranges in terms of role!

What location? Base seems low unless you’re in a low cost area.

At $75k? Doubtful

Get as much as you can before you come in. It’s had to get a good raise once you get in. I’m going through that growing pain at the moment

When I joined amazon in 2017 I got the below as an L5. I’d say you got a killer offer, better than my L5 offer was in terms of value overall. Only negotiations I could see is trying to negotiate the vesting period.

Base: 81k
Sign on: 18k
RSU: 78
Retention: 21k

Yes, but it would seem L4’s now have higher total comp packages than L5’s did just 5 years ago. That amount of change is still surprising.

Which city/state ?

Dumb question - what is TC?
