Looking at glassdoor salary band for Washington for the role of mechanical engineering for amazing, the base falls in the middle, bonuses seem on the high end, and RSU seems low... IMO #1). It's a FAANG so having it on your resume is a big deal.... #2), as you said, 3 YOE, so it's not like you're seasoned with 20 years of experience. #3) The bonuses fall on the high end. Personally, I'd expect it if I were you.

Mind you, this is picking the highest COL location in Seattle.... and sure you can see higher salaries, but this doesn't tell you the YOE range of these employees. Also again tech is in its trim the fat cycle. Meta is laying off 5%, Microsoft is laying off while not offering severance, Amazon going through layoffs, Salesforce laying off, apple laying off, Netflix announced upcoming layoffs, well... we all know what's happening with Intel... Google is offering voluntary buyouts, but if employees don't bite layoffs are coming.

That's a lot more than we pay for a ME. We are in a lower cost city though.

The Big Tech companies pay MEs more than any other companies, but you have to work a lot of hours. Plus, there will be conference calls with suppliers in China 1 or 2 nights a week.
