Anyone interviewed with Amazon? They ask for current and expected salary in writing even before the interview. How do you handle that?

See if you can connect w/ current Amazon employees that have Big Four experience (on LinkedIn). Feel them out and ask their advice on the best approach for answering the 'expected salary' question. Don't even ask about reporting current salary. If you choose to report more than your actual salary, keep that to yourself. I suggest you report the actual amount or total compensation amount the firm cites for you (incl other benefits). Just be sure you tie it to a number you can validate later, just in case.

EY2 🙄 Thanks.

Give it them, but include your compensatory portion of your salary 😉

They absolutely already know roughly what you make, consulting salaries are easy enough to find out, just be honest

Add 30-40% on top. Your 401k and network is worth more than you know

1million dollars

Thanks 🐠fam!

^ and if you find a current Amazon employee, inquire of this by phone, NOT in writing.

At least 20% increase plus at least match if not improvement on other negotiable benefits. I've never had to accept a new job with less than a 20% raise and have always been able to match vacation. Don't forget to negotiate in any additional equity (restricted options / bonuses / etc) that you may be foregoing by making a move.

I interviewed with them.

I told them what I made, knowing I would make less in salary and in total. With Amazon they structure comp very differently and really you have to look at your four year projected income given stock vesting and their bonus/sign on/2 year bonus model.

Be very careful when talking to them about compensation. My friend took a job from them out of undergrad and the way they do it is let's say you get $100K base + 40K equity vested over 4 years, so 1st year comp is $100K base + $10K stock. Let's say they peg you for $130K total comp second year based on the market. In the year since you've been working there, your stock has grown to be worth $15K +10K vesting this year. They would only increase your base to $105K so that your total comp is $130K. Yes very unusual but that's what's happened with friends who worked there.

^that is ridiculous... they're double counting your first year comp? And if they count stock appreciation, that defeats the whole point of equity upside. Weird - thanks for sharing

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
