Is this a good offer? Just got an offer from AWS. It’s an internal business intelligence role within the public sector.

I’d take it. A good role at Amazon on your resume will open up lots of opportunities at other tech firms. It’s hard enough to get in so take it. The money will come later if you can perform well.

I agree but I’m already at a great tech firm. AWS actually reached out to me.
i’d negotiate
Jesus.... what role are you applying for? 68k signing bonus?
I’d take it, but not without negotiating.

They set your TC 4 years out? That’s a little scary to me. Those aren’t big increases.
How long have you been with your current firm? You should bake in value your existing relationships, goodwill, future ops, etc.
Time off is terrible here
What level is this. Remember they the extra bonus and stock is higher taxes. And you don’t get extra bonuses on top. They build out your stock in out years. I think it’s fair but not fantastic. Negotiate for more.
You do not pay higher taxes on bonus. Taxes may be initially withheld at a higher rate (22%), but the tax you actually pay is determined only by total comp, and bonus vs base salary is not treated differently when tax payment/refund is determined.
RSU value will likely end up higher so I’d add another 10-15k over your 4 year.
Is it at Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS)?

Yes it is WWPS
