A lot of us find concepting to music w/ little to no lyrics to be helpful. I’ve found myself needing a collection that opens up new thought areas. I put this playlist together for that purpose. 🙏 https://open.spotify.com/user/erice82/playlist/1CbAyrzrPPsOPcskfkPmK9?si=ABjPqGM8RRO7ZEDYYz88_A

I would ask for 300. You will probably get 200-250.

Just go high. No harm. They’ll likely tell you if it’s out of range, give you a range, and then you can still proceed.
Your base will be $185K (max base for ANY role in Amazon) and your stock will bring you up to your TC target, but it won't kick in until year 3 (due to their back-weighted vesting schedule). So they will provide a sign-on bonus to make you whole for the first two years. Thus, if you require $300K, the sign-on bonus would likely be $230K ($600K - 2x$185K)

You phrased it as “if you want 300k, they will give you 300k” and made it sound odd with “to make you whole” 😂. This role does not earn 300k.
You have dozens of friends who made 7 figure sign on bonuses with Amazon? I’ll call your bluff on that one. Your understanding of comp here is misinformed. And stop trying to add together comp for multiple years. No one counts their bonus by adding it together for two years — that’s just skewing it to sound higher.
