Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Curious to see how you all would separate the raises by rating if you had control of it. Personally think there should be more of a difference skewing higher towards 5's if you really want to keep your top talent.
I shake my head at EOY every year. It is too dependent on counselor and a bad one can tank you. The problem is that only other M-PPED can see how a counselor performs and only for 5 min per counselee a year. I know PPED's, SM and managers who should never be counselors but we force everything into the framework.
I'll go with 4 6 and 8
No it's doesn't work like that. Some years are good and some aren't so the percentage needs to be adjusted according to how the firm performed as well as how your practice did. Then it's you against your peers (all top performer vs you top performer)
75000
5k that's why raises have to be at least 8% for a 3
What are BAP being paid starting out now?
@EY7 depends largely on location.

EY2 I meant more of in a relative sense. Of course it depends on the year, but I was curious about how you all thought that limited amount might be spread.
@EY7 I want to say it's 70K
Wow that's nuts
EY7 is that high?
I don't know about compared to the other Big4, but relative to back in the early days (not THAT long ago) of the BAP, yes.
Hey EY1 I actually heard from some new starters that they're still getting 70k. Where'd you hear 75?
^last year 4s were 12.5, and they did better last year
Someone told me HR told them, could be wrong
Hmm I heard that rumor too but then heard that they were being paid 70. I think contracts must have come out in late November and stuff so we shall see what it is in reality. But if they do start at 75, then raises should be at least decent this year. I know PWC is paying 75 base for their new hires too
Also curious how much bargaining power a 5 gets you for complaining about comp. Assuming zero but would love to be told otherwise
Yeah I would think if PwC does 75 EY would have to compete.
Ratings don't really mean that much if you want to fight about comp. Renegotiation is about your billables and delivery skills more than anything else. If you have a specialization or are just really good at delivery, then you are a high earner and they will work to keep you.
As for 1-5 ratings, the system is just bad. We have the pillars so score each person against the pillar and then add them up. Even a scale of 10 would be better because a 3 to a 4 can be a huge gap at times but 4 vs 5 is typically arbitrary.
