Would an L7 at AMZN be equivalent to a director level grade at other companies?
Sr Director at Oracle
Yes it would be a director at any other company
L8 would be Director at Amazon, so you’re asking if an L7 Principal at Amazon can become a Director elsewhere. As the above mentioned, you’re mileage may vary depending on the company. Hell, I’ve seen L6 become Directors at other large companies.
L7 at Amazon would be L6 at G or FB. (two levels below Director). for a startup? yeah, I'm sure you could find a Director title.
What would amazon L8 map to at fb/G?
I'm confused by levels.fyi. unless manager levels are different than IC levels, L at Amazon is roughly L-1 at G/FB. but it looks like there's a lot of overlap at those levels. I do know L7s from Google that became L8 at Amazon.
It’s VP in PayPal 😝
Depends on the company. Google or Microsoft? Probably not. Intel or eBay? Probably at least director, maybe more.
