Congratulations! I’m not an employee and don’t know anything about their benefits, but be mindful that the AMZN equity component of your offer is likely back-weighted for yrs 3 & 4 — since folks who get burned out in yrs 1 & 2 and don’t continue on leave those units behind...

Thanks. Am aware of the rsu payout option- overall comp looks attractive even for years 1 and 2; so researching for other benefits to compare

Amazon is pretty frugal when it comes to benefits. You will learn a lot, and if you can make it several years, you will have made more than you would in public. I would ask to see a benefits package and weigh against your current cost.

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.

Hello Fishs,

But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid."

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
