@OP, I think first off is, what is the structure of the entity you're talking to?

Is it a firm that has a full-service or digital agency in its roster (eg Accenture Song, Deloitte Studio)?

Or is it a consultancy that is building out a marketing-oriented portfolio that requires a robust creative team to service clients as part of a larger integrated offering?

The former will probably be run like most agencies you've worked at. The latter not necessarily so.

Salaries, in my experience, are a function of the work being done/sold-- consultancies will pay you more than the average agency, but by how much depends on how critical you are to their overall offerings....and not all agency creatives are that useful

Hi fishes,

Got an offer from Amazon for Data Engineer-2

Yoe-2

Base - 20LPA
Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!

Cheers
