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.

What’s your recommendation if my new 401k does not accept pension rollover? I think the only 2 roll over options left are traditional/Roth IRA, right? If I first roll over the pension to traditional IRA, and then immediately roll over the traditional IRA to my new 401k, will I still trigger the pro rata rule when I do backdoor Roth in the future? I have never contributed to a traditional IRA or done backdoor Roth so far.

I have job joining in UST in next. However, I'm having some concern. Could you please advise me on this.

I believe it's the employees personal matter and nothing to relate on job prospects (this is what i got as a reply from my previous employer)

Do I need to inform about my matrimonial disputes or should I keep quiet? How does background verification team consider this.
