Note that this offer is for fulfillment center employees, not software engineers.

Thank you for clarifying this, it was a source of confusion for me as well.

Not to sound elitist, but what is $5k to a software engineer making 120k/year regardless of the cost of living in Seattle.

This makes more sense.

[fletchowns]

$5k is still a lot of money for somebody making $120k/year

[Igglyboo]

It's no where near as much money as it is to the people who are actually getting the offer. It's like 2 weeks pay for an engineer and 2 months pay for a warehouse worker.

[takeda]

A single semimonthly paycheck.

Amazon pays $95k for new grads. SDE3 is around $120k.

[crucifiction]

Maybe for base salary, but Amazon is mostly stock (or bonus if you are new) heavy in comp...

Thanks for clarifying this.
