I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

I’m an L6 SDM at Amazon but a Meta recruiter sent me an M2 sdm job description. I have all the XP I need from previous job experience but does Meta keep your same level as Amazon? Meaning if I am an L6 at Amazon am I automatically interviewing at M1 or can I jump to an M2?Amazon Facebook (Meta)

Man, after seeing this,I’m ready to find new gig!
Love this place which finally no people can fool employees anymore and trick them get lower pay than the market.
But managers and business would hate this place.
Whoever first launched this kind platform, I love them!
That is a great offer but in about 90% of the cases, you can ask for and receive more. There are some great books on how to improve your negotiation skills like Getting to Yes, Getting More, and Never Split the Difference. Additionally I'm always happy to chat about negotiating for more money. I check LinkedIn more often than here, so if helpful, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein

Get more in stock if that’s total and not an average per year
Lol thank you! I’ll be sure to check out MSFT once retirement comes, or maybe before ;)

I can't find data for Vancouver, but according to the most recent Levels.fyi data (https://www.levels.fyi/company/Amazon/salaries/Software-Engineering-Manager/L6-SDM/) it looks like the TC for the same role in Seattle is in the low-to-mid US$400k range. It wouldn't be unreasonable to ask why your offer isn't anywhere close to that. If they can't offer you the same TC in Vancouver, they should explain why.

That's a good strategy. I started working at Amazon in Germany way-way back, and after a few years was able to get an L1-transfer to Seattle. Comp almost doubled for the same role.
Wow this is crazy...I've been trying to quantify how much I'm worth in the marketplace and your post is showing me I'm probably worth more than what I'm getting...
Definitely low for Seattle SDM L6
Looking on levels for Canada, the difference I see is in RSUs and Bonus. I’ll negotiate those but I think base is pretty good. Thanks!

Salary gain (on average) is 20%~ when people jump jobs. So I read in a LinkedIn article. Tech is probably WAYYY higher.
Stay around and get your 5-7% increase each year, or jump ship..
Loyalty in business these days doesn't get you very far in terms of moving up the ladder..
