Wtf is the question here? You really that obsessed with the idea of working at amazon that you would take a 40 grand pay cut??

If your company is publicly traded then it's not a startup.

Thank you all for your advice. I have rejected the offer.

People asking questions need to grow up and give full information. Is this amount equal to 4% or 40%!of your base comp? Any other additional benefits that amazon is offering?! smh

Dude I slept was too stressed out with this situation. I always dreamt about working at amazon. But hate that I have to take pay cut.

Amazon’s great days are over OP. Horrible work culture, horrible WLB. They need to pay you more

I’d jump from a start up to work at Amazon, but that’s just me. $40k base cut is big Any way amzn total comp gets to within $20k/yr of current role?

That’s really great. May I know what s your specialty/responsibilities at the start up/Amazon?

Hi OP, mind sharing your past role at EY and then how you landed at the start-up? I recently moved to a big 4 from industry and trying to decide the exit for myself in a couple of years.

EY3, that was OP’s previous role...

Did they not ask for your expected salary range before starting the interview process?

They were ok with that initially and I came to know the reality at the offer stage. I invested 50hr into the interview process. Total waste of time. Absolutely hopeless firm. Never dreamt that this would be my experience with worlds most customer centric firm

Hi Guys,

After my HR round today, Hr called up and said that will move forward with the offer but approvals with higher management might take some time as there is a hiring freeze.
Do you think offer will be released? And how much time these approvals take ?

She mentioned at the end that they are definitely going to offer as all feedbacks are positive.
But it all depends on the approvals.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.
