You're getting screwed, big time. Quit now.

Source: I was hired at Amazon as an SDE1 in 2004 at a base salary of $85,000.

Are you taking stock into consideration? When stock is included, my total compensation for 2016 comes to $130K.

Are you still at Amazon? If so, what is your current salary?

My signing bonus was $10k/$10k, so I can compare that. Stock wise, I think it was like 3000 shares, which at the time were going for $30-ish. Don't fully recall.

Not still at Amazon. When I left, I thought I had it good, with total comp peaking just a hair over $200k. And then I went and got multiple job offers that put my BASE at $250k. So, yeah.

Ya I agree. Sounds really low to me, depending on the job, skill level, and experience (that I don't know)
