Negotiating an offer at Amazon. They give this 4 year salary, bonus and RSU structure.
(1) Does this mean no salary increase for 4 years?
(2) After 4 years- do you get new RSUs to avoid TC decline?

(1) there is a pretty low cap on base salary (like $160k), so that doesnt really change.
(2) your signing bonus doesn’t change, your RSUs can go up but depends on the share price. What they do is base your total comp on some share price assumption. If the price goes up - way up has been the trend- then no, you don’t get more assuming that price is higher than when you were hired. If it falls significantly, you can get more shares to get you to your target. If you get promoted, you might get some more shares.

Usually around year 3 in april, you get some shares for year 4 and 5 to get you to your target comp, based on the share price at that time. But your total comp can absolutely decline between say years 4 and 5 if the price has gone way up but you are still at the same level.

Super helpful. Did I get this right?
(1) Within the 4 years, the TC would not go up vs the offer now (unless stock prices go up). So there is no relation of my performance to my TC within the first 4 years
(2) Year 3 onwards, I might get new RSUs to keep my TC in year 5 onwards in line with the target comp (though target comp can be lower than my actual year 4 TC)

You can definitely promote, meaning your base would then change. In addition to the RSUs you receive from your offer, you also get RSUs yearly for performance

haha, so everything is tied to sticking around longer. Nice strategy I must say...
