I “cold emailed” my dream agency and got a response and multiple interviews out of it. It turned into an offer like 8 months later so it was definitely worth it. Doesn’t hurt to apply and follow up diligently.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
