Was solicited by an AMZN recruiter (internal) for Principal Engineer position. Told me that it was the *highest* technical level at AMZN. Is that correct? Asking as based on description, doesn't sound very high (reporting to a Director level at AMZN).
Principal - L7 Sr. Principal - L8 Distinguished Eng - L10 L7 is considered "high" and less than 10% of them are direct external hire
TC or GTFO! I think your current TC and experience might not be sufficient to make a cut for L8 or L9. Another possibility is that you are not interviewing for AWS.
L9 lmao

@Shaktiman! - thank you for confirming what I suspected. Told this AMZN recruiter that the position sounded too low for me and he got indignant and obnoxious. IMHO, AMZN needs to hire better recruiters than this guy if they're going to have any success with getting experienced senior talent.
What's ur current role/level at Salesforce? And TC? May be recruiter is right when it comes to leveling you..
