Got a call from an AWS recruiter for an L7 Principal TAM position. Any thoughts? She mentioned total comp maxes out at $300k, which is approx 25% below my target for jumping. Am I being too greedy?

Maybe. But it’s all about your goals

Willing to commit and be at the mercy of the system you mention seems to be one of the prime traits to make partner level.

I've personally seen quite a few promotions delayed with no reason other than "make better numbers next year". That's one of the main reasons I don't want to go for partner.

In this line of work, always have a backup plan and job hunt like you're going to be laid off in a month. If you're comfortable doing that, you'll always have an offer on the table to leave if they call your bluff.

What's TAM?

Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?
