Question on on labor laws in the US:

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang

In some ways but that isn’t a helpful way of thinking. You are trying to predict an economic downturn, who they will cut, and your peers salaries. You don’t know any of that information. You should get as much as you can now because that is the only thing that is certain.

Grab as much as you can . There is no real downside for being greedy in USA

Not really a valid concern. Typically, during layoffs, unnecessary projects and the under performers- low hanging fruit - are cut first. Project CARE is an example of a project that is getting axed at Amazon. After that, I believe HR tends to look by salary band, so for consulting, SMs tend to be the first to go, and performance is the best indicator, not tenure/salary within the band.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
