Hi All,
I have 5+ years of work ex with a consulting firm in NY and my total TC was around 180k. But I quit my job last month due to terrible work life balance. Fortunately I received a new offer at Amazon of Program Manager in Seattle with a total comp of 120k. I am confused if I should accept it or of it is too much of a step down. Thoughts?

Cool that you got an offer so fast. With amazon on the resume you can easily leverage that somewhere else.

TC or base = 120k?
Seattle is much better than New York so should not be bad

Yeah but there is not much room. Its level 5 at Amazon. Given I don’t want to be in Consulting for sure, what could be other potential options

Cost of Living difference according to smartasset is 22%. So you would need $140k to have the same effective comp. See if you can negotiate a bit of a raise

Thank you!

Curious ZS1 if you ended up taking the role? I’m in a similar position and not sure if I should take the role given the reduced salary and Amazon’s aggressive work culture reputation

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
