Twitch is so low: https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Software%20Engineer&s...

Is that because a lot of people want to work at Twitch, and/or because Amazon doesn't pay that well?

It's because the bulk RSU portion of the offer vests in the latter 2 years and the TC value given on the site is based on 1st year compensation.

Yeah, I just started started working at Twitch about a month ago, and while I was interviewing with them I found more accurate results when I searched for Amazon salaries instead. I think part of the problem is there aren't many data points for Twitch on levels.fyi compared to other companies.
