Recently got promoted and got a 10% raise. Yet, I still make barely more than people who are a level lower and joined the firm less than a year after I did. From a financial perspective it truly doesn’t make sense to stay with a firm beyond 2/3 years anymore. I am in industry FWIW.

Would you leave an apparently safe, well-paying L6 tech job at Google these days for a job at another large tech company with similar comp? The main reason to switch would be a more exciting project with (maybe) more room to grow.

What is your firm, level and raise that you got this year? Just curious because Google deferred compensation changes until March next year. Inspire us!

In my interview process, someone mentioned to definitely negotiate your salary because you’re stuck with it once you get in and it’s nearly impossible to get promoted.😬 And the recruiter also mentioned they don’t give yearly bonuses. What things are you doing to increase your salary at Amazon? That’s seems weird to me coming from Google.

What’s the AWS equivalent of an L6 at Google? Looking at Finance specifically. Any info on comp would be helpful too if you have it! TIA!
