<p>Amazon announced to corporate employees last week it would raise base salary this year from $160,000 max to $350,000 according to Geekwire.</p>
<p>Amazon&#8217;s base salary had been lower compared to other tech companies like Microsoft and Google but offered sign-on bonuses instead and more restricted stock units to make up for the difference.</p>
<p>These changes don&#8217;t affect warehouse employees which make up the bulk of Amazon&#8217;s workforce. These employees have an average starting pay of $15 per hour or more depending on location.</p>
<p>Below are salaries paid to selected Amazon workers based on H1-B filings with the Department of Labor for the fourth quarter of 2021. The jobs are in Silicon Valley and Amazon&#8217;s headquarters in Seattle. The salaries do not include benefits or stock options.</p>
