Need advice: Have an offer from Amazon for 100k base. Currently making 120k. Does it make sense to move?
Fwiw: I have a master's degree with 5 yoe and feel like I'm being lowballed.
Looking for an exit opportunity since current work environment is too toxic to deal with, but don't want to compromise on the comp either.

Amazon always offers lower base. Are you getting good stock options? Also it's very easy to negotiate the stock options with them.

People don’t usually get fired. They take better exit opps or burn out.

You can always leave Amazon. It’ll most likely give you better options than current firm.

For that reason alone, take it

like

Base at Amazon is nearly always low, look at the total comp.

That being said, 100 is low, what COL, what level? You should be looking for more than 100 base with 5 YOE...

Not with another $100k on top of it...

Should you be comparing TC instead of just base ?

I am.
But also most west coast companies offer similar stock options, but with higher base

100k base but what is the total comp? That seems like a low offer for any company, especially Amazon. Depending on how bad you want the job, I would counter by letting them know you are willing to make a lateral move. Make sure you articulate you skills, credentials, and master’s degree. They should come back higher.

helpful

It depends. If you give them an ultimatum and say I’m only willing to make a move at $120k, then be prepared for them to tell you no and the offer expires.

Thanks for your responses everyone!
TC is around 199k (base+stocks).
This position is based in Seattle

funny

Ok so you’re asking if you should give up your TC of $120 for a TC of $200?

I mean.... that’s your answer yeah?

likesmart

I’m at Amazon with 105 base and 5 YOE. Base is always low. I’m not in tech. That side of the house always has higher comp

Yeah with a shite ton of stock lmao

$120—> 200k @ Amazon

Come on. You know the answer.

Wouldn't have asked this question if it was as simple as a>b.

like

A: TC :120 | 120 base, 0 other

B: TC : 199 | 100 base, 99 other


Need advice, does it make sense to take an offer that’s 79k higher than my current role?

1-5% annual increase for Amazon base, but closer to 1-3%.

like

I would take it. See if you can negotiate more in RSUs, though.
