netflix is supposedly a hellish work environment with its bridgewater-lite atmosphere. do you know anything about the culture at amazon?

not really. i think there are a zillion business units each with it's own thing going on but i think it's fairly hard charging. nutella seems to know more.

oh i do know that amazon pay is structured like $160k or so in cash max no matter what, and the rest in RSUs that vest over time (mostly in 3rd and 4th year) but when they hire you they pay a one time cash "bonus" that is really just a gross-up to your normal payroll for the first 2 years so that you don't have to wait for the vesting to get the total comp promised. after that the RSU awards are supposedly discretionary and take into account the changes in the stock price. they don't give away lottery ticket options so no one is really making millions sitting on stock because most just sell the RSUs when they vest. while upside is limited to if the stock appreciates during the 4 years, the advantage to RSUs is they don't go underwater like options--they will always have some value.

Is this what 3rd year or 4th year or 5th year laterals are making too? Or only senior associate laterals?

I know of 4 poasters who do. One fairly well-known. The rest pumps.

Like biglaw, worth it for the doors it opens.

Do 1 year. If you're not promoted, move on.

Also, they only hire URM lawyers now. Practically no white male fires the past few years.

If white male, don't bother applying. They use legal to balance out all the male white/good engineers.
