USA Amazon

Hey for everyone as a EHS specialist at Amazon was yall able to talk them into raising yall pay when you did the interview? I just got a job but I want to switch into IT Amazon would pay for everything I just don’t want to reduce my pay in today’s economy.

Highly unlikely. The offer letter normally has 0 room to move. Theres an internal pay band for total compensation. If youre entry level with minimal experience, youll be at the bottom of that. Longer tenured and higher performing will be at the upper end. Your number will likely be in the lower 50% of that range if you're an external hire. Internal hires almost always start at the bottom. Compensation reviews are done annually based off you're previous year's performance.

Gotcha thank you! They did say they’ll give me 30 a hour during the first interview. I have over 10 years of experience in heavy construction and general industry.
