How much RSU did you get as sign in bonus at FAANG companies? I’m looking for data points. This is mostly question how it was before the hiring freeze. I know nowadays it would be different, but I expect it will eventually get back to what it was before.

At Microsoft I got $50K in RSUs plus $10K cash at level 62, a few of the colleagues at the same level told me more or less the same. This was 2 years back and I didn’t have much negotiation power.

I’m interested in senior level now. Of course, I know it can vary person by person, also you can increase your leverage by having multiple offers etc.

But I’ve heard at Amazon as senior you can easily get $300K, maybe even $500K in RSUs (I know the vesting calendar is different), so I’d be very curious about Amazon and Google.

Thanks!
