Is Amazon offering 350 as y1 sign on? Or I’m reading this wrong 😱

No RSUs vest the first year at Amazon. Well technically I think the vesting schedule is: - Y1: 5% - Y2: 15% - Y3: 40% - Y4: 40% So Amazon instead pays you in cash the first two years. Your “sign-on” gets paid out monthly as part of your paychecks just like your salary. In your second year, you get a little more of your equity vesting (15%) so you get a little less cash than your Y1

^ . 350 is over the first two years and more like ~175k yr one so 1st yr TC is 180 + 175 = ~355

Expected tc for each?

Apple mzie53 OP Dec 21, 2021

Did you even read the post!

Amazon woco89 Dec 21, 2021

Yeah can you just calculate it for us? Do the other companies have the same kind of vesting schedule as Amazon? How are we supposed to know?

How was the Amazon interview compared to the others?

Apple mzie53 OP Dec 21, 2021

Quite tough tbh. 3 coding 2 system design. 2 online assessments.

Salesforce BoringEng Dec 21, 2021

Microsoft 221BakerSt Dec 21, 2021

For all users asking: Amazon TC: 565K - Y1/535K - Y2 And also OP if you write TC for all the companies then Amazon would be winning the poll.

Salesforce BoringEng Dec 21, 2021

This. Doesn’t seem like much of a contest tbh

Apple mzie53 OP Dec 21, 2021

Thanks MS. SalesForce — you’re wrong. Amazon and Meta are competing. With Uber a very close second. As I have mentioned my priority is growth and leaning scale. TC is secondary. The only reason it’s given is to pay blind tax.

Apple kandheu Dec 21, 2021

Outrageous offer from amazon. Wow.
