While at Amazon, I worked in two different roles. I don't have the exact numbers, but I'll put ballparks in here:
(1) Support Engineer
* Base: $72,000; increased at 1yr to $74,000
* Bonus: $20,000; half in first check, other half over months 13-24
* Stock: I don't remember
(2) Software Development Engineer
* Base: $82,000
Gender: M
Native English: Yes
I honestly don't recall if I was L4 or L5 or both.
Both of these were in Seattle. I do know for a fact that there were/are others who were hired and paid more than me.
B.Sc. in Computer Science, fresh out of undergrad. Applied conservatively for jobs to get into something I could excel at from the get-go and learn how to work in the corporate world before throwing myself at complex technical problems.
I've moved on to greener pastures, and I think where I positioned myself from the start put me in a hungry mentality, and as such I've been able to grow rapidly.
