Why I Left Amazon

I spent 4 years at Amazon - In this video I breakdown how Amazon pays corporate employees, and why it's not financially worth it to stay after 4 years.

Amazon employees commonly refer to the 4 year mark as "the cliff" - a time where compensation effectively gets cut in half because stock from a person's four year tour of duty dries up.

To those on the outside (and for anyone who's worked at Amazon) this compensation cliff makes no sense, but from a corporate perspective it ensures (or at least tries to ensure) that there's no stagnant employees.

What are your thoughts on the cliff? - Agree, disagree?
