Depends on the team. Amazon can be completely different depending on where you are at in the company.
If you're a director, then you shouldn't be asking us such questions. Obviously you're not.
I would say, expect to get offered l7 or L6....
Expect a bunch of jealous Blind users to say dumb shit.
Lol
Depends on the org, but L8 roles can be very broad and cover 3-5 or more different job families in the org underneath. Cross functional is the name of the game.
Yes, ignore most of the crap that answered. L8 is an actual director. You should ask for above 450 total comp at minimum. Do not take less.
Good advice!
I got a VP offer from t mobile and Starbucks and amazon offered me L6 just fyi...
My phone screen was basically talking shop about how big an org I managed and how I managed it along with results My interview loop had 2 L10s and 4 L8s plus HR.
450k total comp is very low for an L8. Calculate what it would take to be independently wealthy and make that the total value of your 5 year stock vest. If they don't offer that, walk. That is what high performance directors at Amazon are paid.
that's an l8 exec role. A long loop to evaluate against the principles followed by a bar raiser. A lot of focus on how big of teams you have managed in the past including having managed senior managers and multiple products at a time. Think of a VP interview elsewhere but an expectation that you can do the VP role while also being able to roll up the sleeves and dive deep where needed
Good insight, thank you.
