Hey! I just got an offer for a L6 position at Amazon but compensation is below my current salary. Any advice on how to negotiate? Base salary is ok but the gaps are 1. The variable and 2. The sign in bonus is only a 1/3 of my non vested stock. Thanks!!!

If you have the overall OTE number in number (you should), ask for it. Do benchmarking too but if you have that one number in mind, then try to find a creative way to get there with a mix of base, stocks, bonus and signing bonus. Good luck and congrats!!! Just remember now is the time to ask and best time to negotiate!

Thanks for your reply! I don’t have that number, I’ll ask the recruiter. I’m working on my asks now!

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
