It’s your Day 1 as an Amazonian! Whether you are attending new hire orientation in the Doppler Building in downtown Seattle or in another city, you’re likely excited and a bit nervous for your first day.
Orientation provides a flood of information, and you may be asked to quickly make a number of decisions about benefits. As you begin this new chapter in your life, a number of important financial questions can arise.
- How should I be thinking about my initial pay package with a mix of salary, RSUs, and cash sign-on bonus?
- My RSU grant has a different vesting schedule than I’m accustomed to from other tech employers (i.e., backloaded to years 3 and 4) —how should that impact my financial plan?
- Should I contribute to the Amazon 401k plan? What about the 401k account at my old employer?
- Does Amazon match 401k contributions? What do other Amazonians invest in?
- Is there a tax advantage to enrolling in a high-deductible health insurance plan? How much should I contribute to my Health Savings Account (HSA)?
A little upfront planning can pay dividends down the road. Wealth45 provides information and resources to help bring clarity and focus to these decisions and your overall financial life.
