Amazon does _not_ pay as well as Google/FB/Apple/Twitter/Netflix/LinkedIn/Salesforce/etc.

I don't know. When I made the decision to leave Amazon, my offers at Facebook and Apple were less than what I was making at Amazon. Google was only slightly more.

I encourage you to learn to negotiate better. Just like hen companies go from round A to round B, their share price should jump up. ;)

This is very true, it's something that I've never done well, and have always been really uncomfortable doing. When being a hiring manager, I always expect the candidate to make significant counter offers, but it's not something that I've ever been able to do effectively on my own behalf.

I followed your interviewing guide. It is very useful.

But seriously, 50 to 100k more? That sounds like a huge differential. That means going from 100k to 150-200k.

amazon pays even their college grads more than 100

[raverbashing]

And at least for Google, their salaries, except for the top tier maybe cannot be considered as 'pays well'

[chrisper]

Really? Whenever I see people talking about Google they always say "pays really really well." Care to elaborate why you are saying that?

Evidently they pay well enough to hire the talent they need.

They have 4,500 open positions in Seattle alone.
