Either that, or you don't know how their comp works.
Most people I know take a large salary pay cut to work at Amazon. They feather it in over 3 years, but it can be painful. And people I know leaving Amazon can earn multiples more going to GOOG or MSFT or whatever. The stock vesting becomes the hurdle to leaving.
They've had some issues lately given their stock tanking, that has caused them to raise their salary a bit. But its still well below market.
