@@CareerSchool I think I got the job. fingers crossed. i’m a hell of a candidate so even if I didn’t get it there a hundred more opportunities

[@SoundMir]

I heard so many really negative things about working in finance at Amazon from people I know who currently work there( and want to escape asap) that I will NEVER EVER apply for any role there (and I worked for different global businesses in the past) and I now warn all my friends to never even try to step into that toxic and horrible corporate environment of Amazon 🤢

[@businessnews8172]

What are the most useful hard tools/platforms/skills to learn beforehand that are used in FAANG marketing? For e.g SQL, advanced excel, Marketo, etc

[@CareerSchool]

Hi! Thank you for the comment. I don't think there is one particular skill/tool that you can leverage in all the roles, meaning it depends on what the role is. However, I realize that understanding data (mining, getting to insight) is really important as we use it every single day. Hope this helps!

[@AlejandroRodriguez-dt5it]

Realistically how much does a Senior Financial Analyst earn per year? How much would one earn at Amazon?

[@CareerSchool]

Hi! thanks for the note! I would go check on level.fyi for that!

[@emptycell]

What’s the compensation for a SFA at Amazon?

[@CareerSchool]

Hi! thanks for the comment. I would strongly recommend you go check out level.fyi :)

[@an237251]

What is your salary?

[@abefinance109]

The average Amazon Financial Analyst earns $105,780 annually, which includes a base salary of $83,530 with a $22,250 bonus. This total compensation is $19,364 more than the US average for a Financial Analyst.

[@an237251]

@@abefinance109 im a senior financial analyst at amex and they started me at 85k salary with a 5% yearly bonus. Wish i would have known this before i accepted the offer. Are you a level 6?

[@jefemang3430]

@@an237251 L5 is around $130k TC. L6 is closer to $170k TC. Amazon has been hiking pay like mad recently. Keep in mind an Amazon SFA is equivalent to a Manager at most other places. $85k base is actually pretty normal outside of FAANG. You're certainly not underpaid unless you're in VHCoL.

[@fiamond]

Helpful. Sounds like a really boring reporting job
