FAA Slaps Amazon with $350k Penalty for Shipping Violation

Uh, at Amazon, junior devs go for around $120 if they don't negotiate well. Interns, last I checked, were close to $80.

If you fold in the TCO (benefits, computer / chair / licenses, etc.) for a senior engineer, the $350 isn't too far off.

I know full time devs there who were getting under $100k, granted this was 2-3 years ago.

I was at 94 base when I left. Started at 90 2 years before that.

Of course if you include stock it was 120ish.

Of course you include stock? That's part of the cost. I know four people that just started fresh out of no-name schools for $120 including stock.

I know four people just hired making $120k, not from name-brand schools?
