shutter shades and all

AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon

Sounds low. Most companies pay your equity over 4 years so if that's the case, it's only an additional $5k per year.
If it's $20k per year, that's obviously better but still really low compared to most tech companies.
Ask the recruiter how it's paid out then start negotiating

Yes absolutely ask for the vesting schedule. RSUs are typically easier to negotiate then base salary, so go high. I recently just started a job where RSUs are offered. They initially gave me $75k but moved up to $100k bc they couldn’t match the increase I wanted in base comp (they got close). All this is to say, negotiate. Don’t leave money on the table!
