How much would a reasonable TC for L6.5 in Amazon
Hi Amazonians, Today i got a great news that i have been selected for an interview with Amazon for Finance role in Seattle for L6.5, i understood L6.5 is something very specific to Finance in Amazon. Now they are asking me about expected TC, and I did my search, but the web shows a very wide range from $100K to $400K, i am worried to cut myself short also i don't want to give them a super high range which may result in losing such a great opportunity before it begins. I am thinking to tell them I am expecting TC of $ 300K, would that be a reasonable? Please help me to get sense of what works and what does not work for this company.
L6.5 is specific to Amazon Finance. I know a few. Unfortunately, your TC expectations are way off and you’re looking at low two hundreds.
Like 240 or 235 seems reasonable to you?
Yeah, high end, I think.
That is very high end. Median in Seattle should be around 180k
Try 250 and see how it would work, it shouldn’t be a deal breaker if there budget is low two hundreds
Dumbest question for newbie here.. what does L6.5 stand for?
It is an internal amazon level. For finance L4 = Financial Analyst I, L5= Financial Analyst II, L6 = Senior Financial Analyst, L6.5 = Finance Manager, L7 = Sr Manager, Finance, L8 = Finance Director.
Thanks! But Geez a Finance manage can make 250k-300k in Amazon?? What does L8 make?
The maximum for L6 is $150-$160.. I would guess L6.5 will be Lower $200 at the max. How many years of experience? Amazon usually down-levels everyone. I had applied for L6 but was offered L5 eventually.
I have 16 YOE and my current TC is 160 and this is in a much cheaper location than Seattle. Man if what you are saying is true that means Amazon is paying shit and it doesn’t worth my time for the interview
With that experience, they won’t downlevel you. I have seen people with 11 years of work ex downleveled to SFA
Not a thing. Either you’re a L6 or L7
No per communicated by Amazon recruiter, it is only for finance
The recruiter is making it up to get you to sign. Getting promoted to L7 TPM is pretty hard. You must complete 2 company wide firsts and get directors to support your promo.
