I'm considering a boomerang to Amazon, left just over a year ago as a HV L5 prepped for L6 promo. Took a Principal program role outside. Curious about the current non-tech base range for L7. Not concerned about TC I'm highly versed in the RSU game.
Serious question; you think you’ll be able to boomerang after only a year and jump 2 levels?
I was an internal transfer from the CS field sites where the highest level with open roles was L5. I was up for and approved at L6 when I left.. I have two Masters and have been leading teams for over 10 years. I also had a 13 yrs tenure there before I left.
You were at Amazon for 13 years? What was your career progression? (4 to 5 etc.)
Started as a CS agent moved through roles while I was in school. Took L4 salary in 2014, L5 salary 2015, L5 relocated to Seattle 2016 global pmo through Q1 2018 and was approved for L6 but left to care for my son.
What makes you think you’ll be able to make it to L7 from L5 in just one year?
Sheer overconfidence
Not over confidence, I've already been in discussions with HM. My slow growth at the beginning of my Amazon career was by choice as I was a student for most of it.
