T6 with EE, SEE and manage a couple of teams (15 ppl) working on good areas/projects. Have been at Google for a while, so interested in exploring outside. Any idea what levels I should be targeting at amzn? Also interested in knowing how amzn does on the pay and WLB. thx!
YOE and current TC breakdown? That would help us determine what TC to expect at amazon.
7 yoe. TC ~530K - 220 base, 20+% bonus, ~275 rsu.
Got any tips to become an L6 manager with only 7 YOE? đđż
You won't likely make L7 with 7 YOE. Your comp is way above L6 band for SDM (I make more than you but my target is under 400 and I am TT, top of band, etc.). You will be competing with people with 15+ YOE managing larger teams, building business units from scratch, starting successful startups etc. Heck, that describes some TT L6s. If you bring deep domain expertise in an area, you might be worth it to them to loop as an L7 with the understanding that if they offer at L6 they will need to get an exception to match your current comp. Be upfront with recruiter/HM about all this.
Amazon should let OP interview for L7 because of OPâs google level, even though YOE may not be very high.
Thank you for your responses. Not sure TT means technical track, which is what I also am at Google (ie staff engineer and manager). Typically, how large a team(s) does a T7 at Amazon lead? re:yoe, I do have a PhD, in case that counts at all :).
Someone pointed me to levels.fyi which does indicate L7
Depends whether you are looking at IC or Manager roles.
