FAQ

Does Amazon ever raise the base above $190k for an L6 PM?
Only when the Total Cash Ratio exceeds 0.75 and the RSU stretch is exhausted; otherwise they keep the base at $185k and adjust RSU.

Can I reject the Amazon offer and still keep the Google L5 role?
Yes, but you must withdraw before the Amazon acceptance deadline (typically 48 hours after the offer email).

What if the Amazon hiring manager pushes back on RSU increase?
Reference Samantha Ross’s “RSU stretch” memo and the TCR target; the hiring manager can’t deny a documented compensation lever without board approval.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
