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.

 

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.
