Senior Financial Analyst at Amazon Seattle is 150-160k TC L6 including RSUs 6+ YOE.

Source: I turned down an offer from them. My gf took an offer at Google in SF at the 140-150k (110k base + 80k rsu/4yrs + 10-15k bonus) TC as a Financial analyst, 4.5 years at big 4 audit. Big Tech companies all down level titles.

No total compensation is 140-160 for this role with Amazon including RSU already

Yes, make sure you ask for equity on top of that

Did it take a while to get promoted ? Would have expected M3 with 7 YOE.

Seattle down, but congrats to OP. $200k is awesome.

$190K seems unreasonable for a senior accountant. But idk the market. Why not just ask them what their range is and then you can see if the move is worth it.

Is this for real? Total comp for MBA/Software Engineer combos at Amazon don’t even make that much. Why would an accountant…

PwC 2 - I don't work at Amazon but got an offer, TC was TC. They offered a cash signing bonus that made up for the delayed vesting. From what I hear it is pretty typical and while I asked for an increase, I didn't have to fight hard.

Should have clarified the question to be: What is a reasonable comp request? I based the number on another posts's TC number at $180. The consensus seems to be that the number is too high.

You need to know the level for this. If it's L5, it's tougher. But L6 and you ace your interview, with sign on, you can get close to that 180k or higher.

Is it wrong that I’m just not into PE/VC? It seems to be the most desirable exit for most people that I work with.
