Yoe - 7. I am outside of US and have never worked in FAMGA companies. How to understand for which level should I apply for?
Where do you work and what do you do in your current role?
I’m planning to move to NYC. Currently mobile developer (iOS + Android)
As others have already pointed out, level depends on the interview performance. Prepare well with the your problem solving and design skills. Good luck.

L4 seems safe.
Thank you, I’ll do my best )
L5 is definitely possible if you can perform well during interview. But whether you can keep up with the work is another question.
Wow, thank you
You don't apply for a level they pick one for you according to your interview performance/yoe/previous scope. Also TC?
Well, TC is the question too. I saw guys here with 3 years and TC 200k+, new grads with 100k+. Damn are they all smarter than me..
Not necessarily, these folks also likely have a high cost of living. I think Blinder majority is from SF bay area. New grad with 100k TC in the bay cannot afford to live alone without a roommate.
