Friends, I have 11+ years of experience and have been selected for a L5 Non Tech PM role. Amazon is offering me 24 base + 8 SB + 200 RSUs. I will have to relocate to South India (from Delhi) for this and probably the offer may not cater to my expenses. AM I BEING LOW BALLED ? as the HR says this is the max capping for the role.Amazon Amazon India Also, how difficult is it to apply internally and clear a L6 interview (after i join Amazon)

My family lives here. It’s a great location. Quiet, but in a way that makes living there really lovely, in that you get more of a local vibe versus the brighter, tourist vibe. You’ll definitely still get the hustle and bustle, though. There’s lot of security here thanks to the UN. Lots of diplomat plates in the area and the like. Great access to pretty much everything you need. Young professional crowd, mainly, which is personally my jam. In terms of safety, it’s changed here since covid. More aggressive homeless for sure, but then again, welcome to ny.

It’s a nice neighborhood and very quiet. Not much to do around there and a little bit bland but perfect if you’re looking for a short commute and a convenient place to get quality sleep!
Someone I know who lived in that area mentioned that they had some pedestrian checkpoints in order to get to their apartment during the UN general assembly meetings, in addition to the street closures for vehicle traffic.
Not a huge deal since it's only a couple weeks of the year, but a weird quirk of living close to the UN that I would have never thought of.
Yeah, when the UN is in session, they have checkpoints on each street corner. It’s fairly friendly and just cops and k-9 dogs basically doing their job, given the state of the world. Some of the cops are on watch in pedestrian clothes, so this way, it’s not obvious or intrusive, like an average person walking by may not pick up on the police activity at all.

Murray Hill is blah...and too close to Midtown. personally I’d pay more for a better neighborhood

Fair point - I just felt like you need to get through Murray Hill / Midtown to actually do things (which is why I considered it all one big neighborhood), but based on what’s below, seems like that’s either not the case or it’s negligible!
Totally depends on how old you are / what stage of life / what you are looking for... I lived on 46/2 and it was very quiet, not too many restaurant options (need to go up in the 50s) and most things in the area shut down pretty early
