My Queries

  • Can anybody help me in understanding how much is the total in hand I will get for the first and second year and after that including all tax cuts as there's no specific salary breakup table structure mentioned in the offer letter.
  • Is this a good offer considering I don't have any other offers in hand as of now but I am still in the interview loop of Microsoft and Walmart. So should I negotiate on let's say Relocation Bonus as well as signing bonus and RSUs?
  • Should I join Amazon considering the WLB and the hectic environment inside resulting in PIP and layoffs as in my current company's team the WLB is awesome and job security is top notch like a government employee.
  • Can anyone who has recently received an offer from Amazon, or current Amazonians, confirm what job title is mentioned in the offer letter? The compensation details in my offer align with an SDE-II role, but the title everywhere is written simply as Software Development Engineer. Is this normal, or should I bring it up with my recruiter and ask for clarification or a correction?
  • I also have few questions about the team and role along with the current environment inside Amazon regarding layoffs. So if someone from Amazon sees this it would be really helpful if you can drop your LinkedIn ID below so that I can connect with you.

If you make it till here then thanks for your time folks, learned so much from this platform and the discussions here. So thankful of everyone here and I am sure that you all will make it big in your life. Keep Grinding!!
