Ask HN: How much do you make at Amazon? Here is how much I make at Amazon
I&#x27;m not an Amazonian, but I wanted to chime in here to say I think this thread is a great idea and I would love to see more like it.<p>I write about salary negotiation and coach people through it, and I think sharing salaries publicly will encourage more people to negotiate and get paid what they&#x27;re worth.<p>I recently coached a new Amazon employee, and he got a very good offer, which he increased by about 15% using VERY simple negotiation tactics that we discussed. If he hadn&#x27;t negotiated, he would&#x27;ve still been paid well, but would have left 15% on the table before he was even in the door.<p>I submitted this link yesterday—it&#x27;s a Salary Negotiation workshop I did for developers in Orlando last week. It&#x27;s definitely relevant to this conversation:<p>EDIT: Here&#x27;s a direct link to the Salary Negotiation workshop summary to save you a click: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;21zFG5q" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;21zFG5q</a><p>Here&#x27;s the HN submission for posterity: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11305683" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11305683</a><p>(Not sure why I originally linked to an HN submission linking to the workshop. ¯\_(ツ)_&#x2F;¯)<p>Nice job starting this thread!
