Asking for SDE 2 return offer through internship - Amazon

Edit: asking for a friend since he doesn't have an account setup and has a call with his manager in 1 hr Hi Guys, I already have an offer from Amazon for SDE 1 that I got through my internship conversion. I have an experience of around 3.5 years and want to ask my manager for SDE 2. Any idea how should I approach him?

They'll probably put you through an SDE2 loop, because during your internship they evaluated you as an intern level (college grad), not as SDE2 level.

I have seen people get this. If I were the hiring manager I'd put the candidate through an sde 2 loop before hiring. However, some hiring managers seem to be okay with just a design round or two for formality. Basically L4 to L5 has been made a joke by the dumpster fire that's the promo process for sde 2. So I wouldn't be surprised if the HM greenlights this.

Hey, an intern stuck in the same situation here. Would you recommend asking the manager during the final evaluation process itself once he/she confirms their decision, or follow up later?
