Is there a standard translation for job leveling between the major companies (Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc. Specifically interested in engineering rolls.
Yes, recruiters know this.
What are the roles in amazon? Like a tech lead vs tech manager... how many years approx? (Leaving all the 'if you're worth it' shit aside)
Afaik, "tech lead" here is more of a designation than an actual level. As a new grad SDE you generally start from L4, and at L5 you are able to move either up to L6/L7 (senior/principal) or horizontally to TPM and SDM roles.
Each level requires 50% more EXP than the last. You need to be a bit more specific here.
