I'm not an Amazonian (for some reason I laugh when I hear someone refer to themselves as this).
I started out at about 64k which after 2 years on the job became roughly 90k, this year I'm on track to make a little under 100k. I think at the moment my role is the equivalent of an SE II or an SE III.
Because of the place I work at, I don't get stock or profit sharing, etc. I think that software engineers across the board don't receive the right compensation until it becomes shockingly apparent to the company and they risk losing us. Honestly, my org didn't bump my pay up until I started putting out feelers to move on.
