I have an interview with FB, recruiter said it would be E5 if I ace the interview otherwise E4. I am a SDE2, very close to SDE3 atm. Is Amazon SDE2 to FB E5 doable? Anyone has gone through route?
Nobody should judge you based on your current level. If you are doing work of a Senior eng then it would be easy to see at the interview.
Thanks for encouraging me! Will push my self hearder :)
Its doable but beware the responsibilities of an E5 are higher than what most SDE2s will ever do
What's the major responsibility of E5? I thought it is equivalent to SDE3. Many senior SDE2s are already performing SDE3 role and we need to persist that for at least a year to get promoted but even that does not happen to everyone due to the lack of opportunity. I architect and deliver products while leading other devs with cross team influences.
Yes it’s doable I know folks who did that
Yes Its doable, I know a friend who was L5 at Amazon and got Facebook E5 with experience of little less than 4 years.
what happened after this op ?

Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?
Whats the downside with trying?
Yes I will try. Not gonna accept E4 anyway if happens though.
What happened op?
