Got an offer for Amazon L4 Business Analyst based out of NYC with 3 YOE. Feel like this is a lowball so any anecdotes on how much to negotiate.

Lowball
Coach
How much more stock and base can I realistically ask for?
Coach
That’s a pretty accurate offer
Coach
No problem!
14 stocks with their usual 4 year vesting or 14 stocks in Y1?
Coach
Over 4 years
Mentor
You really should include the sign on bonus. The point is that your comp stays the same over 4 years (assuming no promotion or performance raise) but you get more cash in the first 2 years (sign on is paid like base, spread over 2 years) and more stock in years 3 and 4. This is the comp structure of Amazon.
Mentor
Dude, just do the math. It obviously does in years 3/4.
Wow I did not realize Amazon paid BAs less than 100K TC at 3YOE! Are there other strategy and ops roles that pay higher?
Coach
I don’t think Amazon really has s&o roles, their “business analyst” role is super broad.
Mentor
You need to include the signing bonus as part of the tc as the front loading of that offsets the stock vesting schedule.
It’s still low though, 3 yoe usually gets you L5 not 4
Coach
I can’t edit the post now but will put a new comment with updated comp.
Coach
UPDATED comp figures since everyone says I should add sign on to the comp.
78k base + 35k sign on (20k y1, 15k y2) + 14 shares (dispersed over 4 years in a weird way) = ~98k TC averaged yearly.
