I applied to Pinterest and Amazon. I have interviews at both and it's looking positive. I'm a little worried I set the bar too low with my initial response for salary range expectations when I applied. Anyone ever told the recruiter afterwards a higher range and been successful? What might you say to adjust the range? Thoughts?
PwC What’s the better offer? I’m currently an associate at Mercer in Seattle making 115k with a 10% target, but considering an offer in NYC at PWC as senior associate at 140k with a 15%ish target. Also been at current company for only 9 months. Is it worth it to make that transition so early?
Two questions:
How would you ask about the flexibility of the location of a role? I'm interviewing for a role on the west coast, but I do have plans in future to move back east at some point - I currently work at a company that allows me to work from either. How would you approach this and would you do it in the interview or once you reach the offer stage?
How can you tell what level a job is at Amazon Web Services? I'm feeling a little in the dark as to what my expectations can be.

Fully dependent on years of experience, bonus and equity candidate is walking away from. As an entry level coordinator be thrilled with $5-10k but don’t expect anything if you’re not leaving anything on the table leaving your current employer
So, our company will ask for screen shots or other evidence of your expected bonus at year end to validate your request. This is to prevent, “my bonus is $50k with my current employer, can you make me whole ( new employer)?” But the actual bonus may be $20k and the candidate is trying to get as much as they can when negotiating their new offer.

When discussing expected comp, you can ask if there is opportunity for sign on bonus. This is often used to "make you whole" if you are walking away from a bonus at your current job, or if new job cant fully meet your comp expectations.
Thank so much for the advice, I’ve noted it down and will take it on board.
