H1B salaries at Amazon leaked by an insider source

[Jason Voorhees]

California taxes is nothing compared to NYC. You still have no financial freedom over in NYC even if you’re making $120k a year.

Black Epstein avi suited your forum persona better tbh.

I am so tired of the avi but there's no point in changing it anymore since I forget how much people here love it.

These numbers are total compensation (base + stock + bonus) and Amazon has two offices HQ1. Amazon's global headquarters in Seattle, Washington and a bunch of offices in the bay area in Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Cupertino, San Francisco. Bay Area salaries are on average around ~5-20% higher than in Seattle for every level.. all the base salaries i mention are concrete but the stock options and bonuses are just average approximates.



Software Engineer (AWS):

L4 (SDE I)

$168K in Seattle
($131k base + ~$30K stock+ ~$7K bonus approx)

$197K in Bay Area
($150K base stock + $34K stock options+~13k Bonus)

Software Development Engineer (Amazon.com) and Non-Senior Technical Product Managers

L5 (SDE II)

$266K total in Seattle.
($168K base + $92.5K stock+$5.5K bonus)

$321K total in Bay Area.
(194k base +$119K stock+$8K bonus)

L6 (SDE III / Senior Engineer/Product Manager). No bonus after this level

$389K total in Seattle
($197K base + $192K stock)

$445K total in Bay Area.
($225K base +$220K stock)


That's about it. There are levels above this also but they don't typically go to H1Bs. What do you think? Underpaid?
Overpaid?

Remember that there's now a 100K fee for sponsorship `

Zuck the Cuck and Bezos the Bald Fuck are hoarding all the money to themselves, while average chinese and indian sub5 wagie wageslaves 16 hours/day.

Eat the rich!(unless the rich is me hehehe)
Redistribute wealth! Pay the people their reparations!
Fuck all these crooked billionaires!
Seize their properties and bank accounts, then give it to the downtrodden!

People like you don't know a damn thing about money. Giving too much money to people like yourself would be like forcing an Auchwitz survivor to eat a loaf of bread on their day of liberation. A huge windfall would be pure poison and have your life all messed up.

I don’t care. Destroy manmade slavestructures and retvrn to nature

Big Tech like Amazon doesn't care. Already made a thread about it.

MAANG and Big Tech are ready to pay the H1B fees

Finally there's some clarity on this matter. It will not be an annual fee but one time fee for new applicants thag will apply from next year and people outside of the country, don't have to rush to escape payment and the ones that already have H1Bs can travel outside the country without...

yeah bro... we definitley need to outsource tech workers from a country known for this...

H1B isn't outsourcing. H1B is a work visa and allows to work directly for a U.S. company.

[Regenerator]

I used to work for Amazon & the amount of Indians & Africans there is seriously crazy. I felt like I was in a UN meeting during my entire time there Bezo's is a libtard who banned "Offensive books" So it's not surprising.

 

[.Cx]

Do you want us to starve nigga

I voted yes. Foreign workers should not get paid the same amount as us citizens. When they take their money back home and convert USD to INR they will be living lavishly.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I mean. Even despite having prevailing wage. People say foreign workers are undercutting American employees and stealing their jobs. Making their wages lower would just result in more americans getting replaced isn't it?

Due to H1Bs laws they need to be paid the prevailing wage which is the same salary as they would pay to an American whic is determined by the U.S. Department of Labor but I've heard people say that the prevailing wage is sometimes set slightly below what an American would be irl be paid otherwise

 

[gooner23]

if amazon were remote that'd make like most of its faults manageable their internship salaries were hella good too and pro tip you could dodge the leetcode interview almost fully if you go through a closely related position for interns.

but still id rather take like a 100-120k base salary + remote any day of the week

I personally don't like work from home tbh. I've tried it. I just don't feel like getting things done unless I'm in some kind of formal pants and have dress shoes on. I can't imagine turning my house into a work place. Even when I used to do free lance I work just go to a nearby cafe and work for hours. I need that mental seperation of work environment and home environment, work mode and relax mode otherwise my productivity takes a big hit

Thats kinda the point for me i don't want to do anything if i wanted to make more i would just get 2 jobs

Yeah your exactly right. The amount of foreign workers should be limited to a set percentage in these companies. That won't happen though haha

cant you just be homeless and pay no rent

That is how you get deported

 

[imontheloose]

I've heard that fields like mechanical, civil, and other core engineering roles tend to be less affected by offshoring or mass layoffs compared to software/tech, because it require on-site work hands-on expertise or local knowledge. @imontheloose is also a britcel engineer and he told me he can only be replaced by a local and not anyone else because of the nature of the work

My work, currently, isn’t going to ever be given to an Indian, simply because these operators will not listen to a curry accentcel who can’t talk to a low-class Brit properly. English companies much prefer having natives for their engineers too, or at least born-Brits.

Reasonable pay, good if we account for how shit the job market is.
