Being an intern is a huge bonus here. My wife got a decent equity grant under the terrible 5/15/../.. plan, but also a 20k cash bonus for each of the first two years for being a returning intern.

This makes it very attractive to quit after two years, imo

And yet Facebook offered $50k for retuning interns on their first year. This was 5 years ago when I was an intern manager.

That's nice! In the time I've been in the industry, fb has generally been considered a better payer than amazon, I think. Would you agree?

I was just trying to say that the amazon vesting percentage doesn't adversely affect a returning intern's total first/second year comp.

I don't think you need to be a returning intern to get the cash bonus. At least I got one without being an intern
