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.

Received an offer from a top FAANG for a 250% increase in TC. However, I was initially interviewing for a position that was remote and yet the final offer does not provide that option, non-negotiable. I have a wife and 2-year-old child and another one due in 7 months, and currently live near both sets of grandparents.

Is working at a top FAANG really worth that kind of cost? I'm leaning heavily 'no' but it's not making it easy to sleep at night knowing I'm sitting on this kind of offer!
