Got a AWS offer for 180 as a CSM. Is that a low ball first round? Got down leveled after Loop from Sr. CSM to CSM, recruiter initially said that $230 total comp was on the table.

Currently a SC in Deloitte GPS total comp 155.

Should I shut up and say thank you and take it?

160 is max base pay for PMs and the rest is sign on bonus and RSU.

I don’t know - was just interviewing with them and got these details.

Congrats on the offer nonetheless. Just curious - what credentials, YOE, and experience do you have to get into that CSM (CertifiedScrumMaster) role?

Hoping to pursue this one day!

I’ve got 6 YOE and no tech background lol. I suppose I know my way around a client engagement in my sector. They clearly need people, they’re willing to train me up!

It’s low... my friend just got a CSM in Texas office last week for 200k with sign in bonus of 35k. + 150k worth RSU.

150k is over 5 year span.. though the breakdown in amazon differs.

Thank you for this

Well known that AWS pays lower base, but makes up for it in bonus and stock.

180 is total comp

Not sure if it’s worth it

You will be busting your a*s off at work there. Below 200k is not worth it. They are on hiring spree so there is room for negotiation.

Yeesh. If you got $180K with bonus and RSU that’s really low. I find that hard to believe. Astria post seems more in line with what I’ve heard

Is that your base salary? AWS is known for paying lower base salaries, made up for by RSU's that vest in years 3 and 4.

They said that was TC. Waiting on final offer to come through tomorrow. Good question.

Nah that’s TC

It might be a slight low-ball. I'd try to get to 190-195k TC.

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
