Anyone got salary today??
Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.
TC $114k- Base AMZ- $73k +$38kstocks ( vesting 17k$ due next year)
TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)
Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon
What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k. Also, any thoughts on the stability of their philanthropic commitment? There's talk of a recession; I don't want to go private to be cute a few months later.
Bain & Company Hi all, I am interested in making the move to the Middle East, however starting from august/September. What do you think are the prospects for the future in the region? Do you envisage a hiring freeze or are companies still going strong? Thanks!McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Kearney Bain & Company

Lol, y’all actually got your first jobs after college?! My first job was bailing hay for a farmer and I made $20/day, come to find out the $20 was actually from my dad and my labor was traded for a discount on that hay. I wasn’t even in high school yet. Must’ve been nice 😂😂😂😂
Oh and I was like 8 yo 😂
My first "real" job right out of college I started in June 2019 making 55k (hourly, ended up being closer to 65k with overtime for a full year 2020). 2021 I make 62k (hourly still), will be breaking 75k, with profit sharing this year closer to 85k. Reading through the comments I realized people should really normalize talking about their salaries, it gives others without an opportunity to know their worth and negotiate. Too many companies take advantage of good loyal employees who don't know better
Absolutely. Not openly discussing salaries only benefits employers that want to pay you less because you don't know what the rest of the market makes.
I'm excluding bonuses, which have always been at least 10 percent of my base salary. Have a BS in CS from a small university in the Florida panhandle (go Argos!). Moved to Dallas because job opportunities were scarce there and I had an opportunity to move for free.
- Started at ~$66k in 2015 as a software developer at a Fortune 50 in Dallas, TX.
- Got promoted to ~$80k somewhere around 2016-17
- Left, and found a job at a small company for $85k
- Got several raises and promotions over 2-3 years to make $105k
- Got a $20k raise a few months ago to $125k base
I had planned early in my career to bounce around a lot, but haven't found that as necessary as I thought to keep my salary growing. I had thoughts of leaving my current company until the $20k raise. That large of a raise without a title change wouldn't typically happen at a big company like where I started my career. They have too much process around compensation and force rank their people across teams/departments.
I've also received a couple non-yearly bonuses for specific project work that aren't accounted for here. They're rare, but they do happen. The company doesn't have to do that, but it's great that they do.
I'm on the high-end of salary for my experience (~6-7 years) level in the area according to Glassdoor.

In my first corporate job (in India) I made 100,000Rs TC, which at the time (2004-2005) converted to around $5,000. But on purchasing-power-parity (PPP) basis it would have been equivalent to $20,000 annual for a US individual.
