Can I apply for L7 or L6 at Amazon?

Hi Everyone, Currently I am working as Associate Director PM at a small.company in US. I have 12+ years of experience. Of which last 5 years are at my own startups that didn't scale . I have Btech and MBA from top universities of India. Can I target L7 at Amazon or L6 (Sr . Product Manager).

No idea for PM but for SDE, external L7 from no name company is just a dream. L6 at best

Why not. Go for it!

Sounds like l6 to me, regardless of what you target

You are L5 or maximum L6 for Amazon if you make it through the interviews.

L6

As a PM you will be primarily considered for L6 roles. You have too much experience for L5 but there's generally not enough scope and complexity to show L7 responsibilities.

What level and position? You’re prob SD or SE

I am a L6 HRBP and I have come across a couple cases like yours at Amazon where people have been mislevelled but those were in non tech roles. And these people had a tough time delivering at the bar of others on the same level, all ended badly. Good luck!
