This blog is an analysis of the Amazon program manager(PM) & Technical Program Manager (TPM) salaries from various data sources. I will be using the most common data sources like Glassdoor, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Paysa to give you a full picture along with my two cents on what I think.
I will also be doing the analysis across the various levels of Amazon Program Manager, Senior Program Manager at Amazon, Principal Program Manager at Amazon. Then I will do the same for TPMs as well. I have done a similar analysis before but this post is specific to Amazon.

Data Sources:
You will see that there is a considerable variation between Glassdoor, Indeed, LinkedIn, and Paysa. My analysis talking to various people at Amazon is that Paysa data is the most accurate.
Columns: Base is the base compensation you get paid every month at Amazon. The additional comp can be stock or the sign-on bonus.
The Amazon Vesting Schedule is over 4 years:-
- Year 1 – 5%
- Year 2 – 15%
- Year 3 – 40%
- Year 4 – 40%
This means that the complete first year you get 5% of your total stock grant and the second year you get 15% and so on. Since the first two years the stock vesting is pretty minimal this is generally compensated by the sign-on bonus that is split over two years and paid to the employee every month. The column titled Additional encompasses any additional monies granted to the employee.
Graphs are based on total comp*
All the details below are AVERAGES which means while negotiating always shoot for 20% higher than average. But it all comes down to how well you did at your interview and where the interviewers recommended your level at.
