[04] COMPENSATION
What Amazon pays.
Total comp at FAANG is genuinely excellent, especially at senior levels. Base salaries range from $150K to $300K+ depending on level, but the real money is in stock. A senior engineer might have $400K to $800K+ total comp when RSUs vest well. The catch: refresher grants vary wildly based on performance ratings, and stock price matters a lot.
