Got a level 7 offer Principal Solution Architect (Cloud) from Amazon (AWS).

But it's a low base at 160, 300 sign on bonus and then RSU over four years with unlock y1 5% y2 15% and year 3 and 4 40%. The RSU is 400..

Now the offer to me feels really good, however the vesting and the attrition rate of Amazon.. Makes me think I might actually never live long enough to see it? I'm at 250K base and a fluctuating bonus and stock awards placing me at about 350-380k per year.

Any input welcome

In three years at Amazon you make $1020K
Staying three years where you are at you make $1050K

After that excluding promos and base increase you make $350K where you are and $400K at AWS

So you’d have to stay at least 3 years to see any upside from this

6>7 promos are rare and 7>8 is near impossible, realistically

Tldr: think it's a good offer but fucking worried about the company culture etc

Assuming the sign-on is spread over 2 years. Is it 400 RSUs or RSUs worth 400k?

like

$400k worth of RSUs. They’re offering him/her roughly 122 units in total.

4 years is a long time to commit in today’s market. You must have great experience, seems like a lot of risk without much upside

like

Not a commitment. OP still seeing ~$380k in TC year 1 with only 5% of the RSUs vesting. If share price increases, there is a carrot to stay.

Soaorry I'm daft but is the $300k a cash sign on or is that the current RSU value to vest over the next 4 years?

Base+rsu+sign on yes

160 base is capped at amazon, they won’t budge. AWS attrition is high, why don’t you push for more signing and then some more rsu

Yes Amazon caps their base at about that much
Rest of your como will come in stocks

Whats yoe?

10 YOE of relevant hybrid cloud architecture, sales and strategy for some of the largest Microsoft projects in Europe. Been lucky that I've never been locked into delivery beyond mobilization and large milestones. But started from the floor of pulling cables in a datacenter vmware to hyper v migrations etc

Isn’t that $300k over a year or two? I am interviewing for a L7 in Proserve and they said that the ‘bonus’ is paid out monthly over a year or two.

I can get it on signing, and either paid out at once or per month.

Recruiter has more or less set it up with me in a spreadsheet and shown what they can and won't change. But paid out at once means if I leave year 1 i have to pay it back. If it's prorated i believe I don't have to pay back whatever is paid out.
