[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have trouble believing the TC is the same as the fed job. I tripled my compensation by moving from fed to a similar company. The base pay was only slightly more but with bonus and RSUs it blew my fed compensation out of the water. [/quote]

It's a L-5 job at AWS.  So you were making $600k??  I think that wasn't Amazon...[/quote]

Except sales no way an L5 is making 600, maybe an l7 or l8 or you do very well with rsus but after your four year contract your rsus get greatly reduced.  [/quote]

So how did the PP go from Feds to a $600k role at a similar tech firm?? What did you do? What role did you get?[/quote]

They must have had a special skill someone wanted.  If you read what they wrote same pay but bonus and rsu.  With Amazon there are lots of restrictions on the rsus over four years and if stock falls, your total compensation falls. Also, with rsus you have to pay the taxes on the received date via a lump sum cash payment or sell them.  After your initial four year offer they always go down and it’s rare to get a huge amount.  They also don’t say if it’s a one time bonus or guarantee yearly. [/quote]

They acted like it was the nominal path for a fed to tech; that lateral was ridiculous [/quote]
