For SDEs median is closer to 2.2. But that just talks about those that are still there though. It doesn't show when those that are not quit.
- year 1 (8 RSUs): $150K base + $60K cash + 8 * $850 * 1.15 = $218K
- year 2 (24 RSUs): $150K base + $46K cash + 24 * $850 * 1.15^2 = $223K
- year 3 (32 + 33 RSUs): $150K base + (32 * $850 * 1.15^2.5) + (33 * $850 * 1.15^3) = $231K
- year 4 (32 + 33 RSUs): $150K base + (32 * $850 * 1.15^3.5) + (33 * $850 * 1.15^4) = $243K
- year 1 (AMZN @ $1430) = $221K. OLR bumped base salary for next year to $157K
- year 2 (AMZN @ $1844) = $247K. OLR bumped base salary for next year to $160K. No stock grant as projected salary > comp target
- year 3 (AMZN @ $1767, $2307) = $292K. Granted 18 RSUs to vest at year 4.5 and year 5
- year 4 (AMZN @ $3338, $3379) = $378K
- year 5 (AMZN @ $3409, $3400?) = $221K
- due to manager / life reasons, didn't progress beyond L5. If I were to pursue this this year, my comp adjustment would have come about a year after starting at that level (but only to the lower end of the L6 band ~ $250K). $30K for a tonne more work seems rather stupid.
- note the golden handcuffs as well as that huge cliff
- some of the above is intentionally inaccurate (but not by a huge amount)
