Hello everyone, I applied at Google for a SWE3 position and have got a hiring assessment round which I am gonna give. Assuming it clears off - I don't believe I will have much time to prep for the interview, can you please guide me on how to best prepare for the interview? Currently, I started wit
Hi all, I have an Amazon L7 Tech Screen coming up, and I was wondering what the expectations from the tech screens are and how should I prepare for it? Recruiter said it will be a combination of coding, design, and discussion of past experience to analyze the scope of work I've done. Does that seem

I recently received a verbal offer from Amazon, and they are preparing to send me a written offer. The recruiter provided the total compensation, but I haven't received a detailed breakdown yet. Should I contact my recruiter immediately to suggest a preferred breakdown before they finalize the writt
Just finished the round of interviews and was down leveled to an L6. Is this normal? Im currently an IC7 at Meta with almost 20 years of experience so that came as a surprise. I felt very good with the interviews but obviously it's subjective. TC: $800K
150k base 50k yr1 + 40k yr2 120k RSUs TC: 206k in Seattle, WA 5 YoE Is this a fair offer? Recruiter kept telling me i was maxed on TC. That seems crazy. Nordstrom pays me a higher base but doesn’t pay out bonuses often for obvious reasons.
Currently remote at Amazon. Meta would require relocation. I’d also be giving up around 100k in the first year due to stock appreciation at Amazon, Meta will not negotiate a sign on. Amazon is TCT assuming stock growth.
Hi all, My partner (PhD candidate) passed the internship rounds at Amazon & was moved to team matching. They haven't heard back from the recruiter except for a "team matching will happen soon" type of response. I'm starting to get concerned that this is a rug pull. Does Amazon usually take ages t
I have 2 yoe (not all at Meta), will Amazon consider hiring me right now? All the job postings seem to say 3+ yoe as the requirement but is this true? Has anyone with my experience been getting interviewed & hired nowadays? #amazon
I couldn’t bring up proper points about a specific leadership principle. Life sucks Tc - 210k
Interviewed for meta for ic6/ic5 but got down leveled to ic5. Will I be able to negotiate the levels now and ask for additional interviews to be considered for ic6? Will meta ic5 be able to provide more than my current salary? TC: ~550K at Amazon YOE: ~8 years #tech #meta #amazon
Team matching in progress for both so don't have numbers yet. Current CTC - 300K
For those who joined in 2nd half of year, does 4th year comp always goes as bad as mine? My joining anniversary is in Oct, and 6months stocks get bested in Apr & Oct. So, these are counted as the comp for ongoing year from Apr-Mar of next year. It feels like Oct this year to Mar next year is not c

I was hired at AWS 5/22. I did well on my projects, formed great relationships, was leading several high visibility initiatives, and asked to work on a promotion doc ... then I was put into focus 10/23 after giving my boss 1:1 feedback about an unproductive call with a project manager. My boss respo
Currently: Amazon L7 in HCOL area, TC >850 Meta recruiter is recruiting me for Meta IC6. Should I be getting IC7 and if so how should I ask for that? Will this be a TC and scope downlevel or is Meta IC6 = Amazon L7?
Is it possible to appeal a down level at Amazon? I interviewed for an L7 Principal Product Manager - Technical (PM-T) position but was down leveled to L6 after the full virtual on-site interview loop. Can I ask for a recalibration? Or do I just have to suck it up given the supply/demand dynamics o

Hello Teamblind Community, In a truly challenging situation here: I was recently laid off from Amazon, with June 28 as my last working day, after working as a Software Engineer for nearly 3 years. Despite applying to over 100 jobs since then, I've received only two callbacks. Quick Facts About My

Possible? The role guidelines for Google and Meta L5 are a lot more individual focused than Amazon L6. The #1 criteria for getting to Amazon L6 is leading a project that multiple other people work on. I’m struggling with that because after layoffs we have 4 L5 in the team all working on different th
Hello, My manager has been a little brutal to me since Jan 2024 though I was completing my sprint tasks on time. I had my 1 on 1 with my manager today and she mentioned I should be looking for other jobs and that Amazon is very fast based and that I am not able to keep up with it, I asked her if I a
A recruiter reached out for IC3 (Senior Software Engineer I). I’ve been L6 a while but they said they don’t uplevel so I wouldn’t be interviewing for IC4. Would this be a bad career move for growth and how it looks on the resume? I know snow pays better but the post is not about that. Amazon’s stoc
I plan to leave Amazon in around 4 months for another role outside Amazon. I am very stressed in my current role and my manager is unappreciative of anything I do. How do I strategize to get into focus/PIP and get severance pay while maximizing the compensation/benefits? I want to access my 3 weeks
I am trying to understand Meta vs Amazon scope better. A top tier L6 at Amazon on PE promo track is at the very least reporting to an L7 manager with scope over multiple teams (3+) Given that I don’t quite understand the mapping to Meta. I have heard E6 is considered a team lead with influence ove
Hi all I have two options: Option 1: I am in a role transition from program to tech product in current team writing deliverables for a product which might get approved for 2025 in this year's OP1 or planning. This is for a AI ML heavy product with some engineering and the team is a cost center in a
I am an incoming new grad at Amazon (return offer), and want to switch teams ASAP. Is there a minimum tenure required to do that. If so, does internship time from last year count as tenure? Also what's the process like? L4 SDE.
