Has anyone negotiated more Amazon (or in general) RSUs with no competing offers? Satisfied with base and bonus but seeing a lot of posts online with people receiving much higher RSU amounts. (Non-tech BA role)

I did but keep in mind historicals vs today. I got an extra 25 shares before they were at $1k, at $3k the numbers are going to be lower.

Know what you are realistically expecting your TC to be over 4 years and approach it that way, knowing some years will be more lucrative than others.

What's the breakdown? I have heard you can negotiate the components as long as the total is overall same. Anecdotally, their offers are around 80% cash, 20% stocks in the first two years and opposite in years 3 and 4.
It also depends on the level. Not much room to do that at L4/L5. Mid to high L6 roles have a large RSU component
Another thing is if you're coming in from another tech company with unvested RSUs, they may match it in the form of their RSUs

I just straight up asked for additional RSU’s and got a 10% bump in both RSU’s and sign on…one thing to keep in mind when you see anecdotes online is when those anecdotes were dated (e.g. if it’s from 1 year ago even the RSU’s were worth 33%+ less)

The number of RSU’s is derived from that total comp number (e.g. target comp is 250k, last year could have been 150 base + 50 RSU’s, where today that would be 30 RSU’s)

Thanks for the comments about historical and current stock prices. That definitely puts things into perspective. I’ve never negotiated in my life but I think I was battling between the thought you should always negotiate no matter what vs I am happy with the offer they gave me.

Totally get it and I was in the exact boat lol, very happy with offer, read all the “always negotiate”articles. I would say there truly is no harm in asking if done tactfully (e.g. super appreciative, I mentioned I was happy with the offer but wanted to be more invested in the long term success/growth). The new, increased offer was ready within 4 hours lol, so it really is part of the process.

Huge btc short position in market right now, I expect a lot of liquidity issues to come to light soon. Bitcoin should end up below 30k and stay there as new resistance soon. You all doubt my previous posts but all these bumps to 37-39k are fake bounces from retail buying the dip. Defi is gonna unravel. Do you honestly believe the 10-40% defi interest rates were risk free. It’s all paid by stablecoin printing backed by the assumption that crypto prices would keep appreciating
