Amazon SDE-2 offer in India came to ~58 LPA TC, but the first-two-years cash is front-loaded

Watch the vesting cliff. Amazon RSUs vest 5/15/40/40 over four years, so the early years lean on sign-on bonuses to fill the gap. The headline TC is real but years 3-4 are where the stock actually shows up. Median SDE-2 India is around the high-50s to low-60s on public data.

The 5/15/40/40 cliff is the part recruiters gloss over. Model your actual cash per year.
