Comp was on par with other FAANG companies and viewed as "total comp" package with a significant amount of stock with a long vesting period weighted toward the back-end (I believe 4 years if I recall correctly). There was a rather large signing bonus.
I liked everyone I spoke with and hours seemed typical for corp dev hours - not nearly as bad as consulting. Unlike consulting, it didn't seem like there was any ability to work remotely. Living in Seattle is mandatory.
I ultimately decided living in Seattle wasn't worth it for the comp and vesting situation. If you like hipsters and can deal with rain it doesn't sound like a bad gig. I couldn't commit to 4+ years there for the comp to make sense and it wasn't a fit for me.
What was base + bonus like?
I sent you a PM.
Please PM info if you don't mind.
Thanks.
want to add on that Amazon’s typical vesting schedule (for SWEs, but I assume it applies generally) is 5/15/40/40, so very backloaded.
SWE?
How does Amazon normally recruit for corp dev? Is it any different for experienced positions?
I am also curious on these comp. #s, if you wouldn't mind pinging me as well
curious about comp - could you share via PM?
Doubt I'll get a PM but curious as well... If anyone else that got the info could PM me would appreciate it as opposed to making Directress send 20 PMs.
Thanks
Could you PM this info if you ever got it?
Thank you.
Interested as well if anyone has the info
Interested!
F50 CorpDev associate here, interested in comparing comp
interested in Amazon Corp Dev comp as well. can you PM me too? thanks
Would be interested as well!
Would also be interested!
What is the point in hiding behind a PM? Why not just post from an anon account.
was just thinking this LOL
Anon accounts weren’t a thing in 2018
Good point - forgot about that.... was really active on here when I was younger, fell off and am not back at it because of WFH.
At the risk of keeping the echo chamber going - I would also be highly interested in this and would much appreciate the info (through PM, fax, carrier pigeon or even just a response to this comment).
Would like to hear as well. Keeping this thread going.
Thanks
Also interested. Thank you.
Also interested would greatly appreciate if anyone can share
I'm not super familiar specifically with the corp dev team, but I have a good friend who did the financial analyst rotational program, and he told me that some of the teams he rotated onto (I though they were the/one of the corp dev teams?) was super sweaty. He was saying like 70-80 hour weeks were the norm, with some weeks going over 100. Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt bc I don't remember if it was corp dev, but I know some of the Amazon finance teams can be pretty rough.
Very late, but could someone PM me the comp as well please?
Interested in comp as well if anyone could send a PM!
I am familiar the comp for this group and it is definitely interesting but you have to be comfortable with Seattle for sure as even post Covid they are not super flexible on this
