Has anyone interviewed with Amazon in the last 6 months. I finished my loop for a finance role. It’s been 8 business days and no update from the recruiter. I mailed the recruiter who said apologies for the delay but we will get back to you with next steps. Has anyone had this experience and what was the outcome Amazon

A start-up is going to be your best moonshot. With that in mind, what is your background? Accounting roles at start-ups, unless high level director positions, give pretty poor options compared to other roles. If you can lean into a senior director role (or better yet, leverage your experience toward non-accounting roles) you could likely get higher total comp and moonshot potential.
Let's also talk companies - if you keep your eyes peeled there are companies that have higher potential than others. I'd look for Series C/D level start-ups in the software space with high margin. That is the general recipe for high valuations which is where you get your unicorn/moonshot value.

Agreed. When negotiating salary, if you want to gamble take the initial salary and only push back on the equity. Or if you wanna get really crazy, go big on the options and tell them you are fine is the salary is slightly reduced to accommodate because you believe in the success of the company. But be prepared to get screwed. I was at a startup and my equity was underwater within 6 months LOL.
Startups probably?
Moon shots are for people who need lottery tickets. If you have a lot of wealthy just invest in the steady gain assets. Like going to the gym, the best way to lose weight is a steady diet and work ethic, not a crash diet. Similarly, diversify in the SPY and indexes, get a little bit of BTC if that’s something you want to diversity against inflation with, etc.
Crypto wall street bets. Good luck and you won’t hit a lottery so stop dreaming!!
Start putting in money in VC/PE funds. Most top funds have buy ins of $250k-$2.5m. That’s the way to financial freedom.
RSM1– EY1 said net of fees. That chart appears not to account for fees.
If you want to leverage your personal background for a “moonshot” it would most likely be with a lmm pe firm as a controller or ceo with equity options. If you’re talking about just generally trying to form a vc backed startup, obviously that, but best of luck!

Op, can you give us an idea of your experience/industry background?
Heavy SOX background (IT and BP). I lean much more IT and involved in alot of SDLC assessments. Industry wise, a lot of consumer/retail and Tech with some real-estate/healthcare lumped in.
All in on options.
