> When the news broke that Amazon was doubling the salary of corporate employees

I'm pretty sure they just doubled the salary cap. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone's salary was doubled.

Amazon didn’t even do that. Before, no matter who you were, your cash component was maxed out between $160K - $175K. The rest of your compensation was in stock.

Now, more of your compensation can be stock based.

I passed the edit window. I meant more of your compensation can be cash based.
