[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes- we knew that. Nonetheless they can be a barrier to hiring, messy and stressful.

PP the stock vests along the way (original offer was 4 years to 100% vesting - negotiated to 2.5). You can't ever be sure anyone won't "cut you". Perform well and don't fear.

My concern, was that they have such high turnover, they try to cut people even if they are performing well. As a cost saving measure and to avoid paying out fully vesting options.[/quote]

That hasn't been my experience. [/quote]

What is the salary range for engineers at AWS, and if they make the 4 year + tenure what is career progression? Product manager? Business development?[/quote]

My husband is doing it.  Money is good, not sure the range.  Max is $160,000 but they give bonuses for some stuff.  Sounds like its easy to bounce around and change jobs.  Be prepared to travel some, especially to Seattle which we did not expect.  He's happy there but only been a short time.  He hasn't heard of anyone being cut but plenty leave for other companies paying more once they get the experience.  They would not allow him to negotiate vesting.  Many of these jobs people only stay a few years, not just amazon.[/quote]
