Has anyone gone through the Amazon recruiting process lately and can offer some guidance? Received and invite to proceed with the interview process but they are asking me about my expected compensation range BEFORE the actual interviews. Can I just deflect for now?

I’m a Sr. Recruiter for Amazon, the best response to this question is that you’re looking for a competitive salary based on your experience and the role. Most recruiters will try to get you close to the top of the range as it’s a competitive market for talent, plus it’s not our money we’re spending, it’s Amazon’s so why not try and get you as much as we can.

Thanks. So if you see your message above in my candidate response to you, consider it a compliment 😜

The last time I interviewed with them it was early 2021. They did something very similar but it was pretty easy to tell them hey I think the compensation range for something in (insert city and field of expertise here) would be fine, but depending on job responsibilities expectations can fluctuate so I need to get back to you. You can take the offensive and ask them what their compensation band is for this position as well.

Thanks that is helpful. Did they hold you to your original range?

Mine asked for a range but also gave me the TC range before I proceeded (which fell under my given range) to see if I still wanted to proceed.
