Hi LC community, sharing my Amazon offer compensation for SDE-1 role. Hope it serves as a clarity and motivation to my fellow mates. 😊

• Education: Tier - 3 College | CSE
• YOE: 1+ years Full-time | ~1 year interships
• Company: Amazon
• Designation: SDE - 1
• Base Pay (INR): 19,17,000
• Sign-on Bonus Year 1 (INR): 6,47,000
• Sign-on Bonus Year 2 (INR): 5,18,000
• Restricted Stock Unit Value (RSU) (4 years) * (INR): 15,56,000
• The RSU vesting cycle: 5% after Year 1, 15% after Year 2; and thereafter, 20% every six months until fully vested.
• Total Compensation (INR): 46,28,000
• Benefits: Standard Amazon benifits

In my opinion Amazon is the relatively easiest to crack in FAANG companies as SDE-1. You can significantly boost your career from this point. Hoping the same in my case.

Be good with LC Mediums and few Hards if your are targeting this company as SDE-1. You should be in a position to think of the solution back of your head the moment question is given. Only then you can solve both the questions in 45mins with all the Brute-force to optimal explanations. Rest 15mins will be for Introductions, Leadership principle questions and some buffer for DSA follow-ups.

Keep grinding and the day will definitely come.

Everything happens at the right time!

Update:
My interview experience:

Although I couldn't remember all the questions. I do remember two of them:

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/description/
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-bridge/description/

Remaining were also of similar difficulties. Now its not like your regular contest. In almost all questions you won't be given all details and they expect us to get all the clarity and details by asking questions to them. So there will some time invested for this thing too.

I also faced a situation for the Rain water trapping question the Bar-raiser asked it in last 25mins. He didn't even paste the problem statement, he just pasted an array and gave some vague statement via mouth without even the expected answer. Now you should also be in a state to handle these kind of treatment imagining and solving it in mind with all brute to optimal solutions. Forget about using pen-paper because I didn't even get time to touch them in any of my rounds.

Timeline for my rounds and offer:
For all my rounds recruiter reached out to me the next day of interview round and with 2-3 days gaps for next round. Then finally after 2-3 days of my Bar-raiser round received the offer ✅.
