A recruiter reached out to me about an opportunity at uber and told me that 5 yrs experience would put me at level 4 and not 5a. The recruiter scared me that the interviews are going to be very hard for 5a. I did about 200 LCs. I am not sure if i should ask for 4 or 5a interviews. Are 5a interviews really that hard? And how is comp for both 4 and 5a?
Go for 5. I went for 5 with 4 yoe. But you would need to nail the interview to get 5.
Are the interviews going to be leetcode hard? Just wondering how different/difficult the interviews are going to be between these levels?
Yeah. Mine were LC hard. I think the difference would be System design and bar raiser.
How is the comp different for both levels?
Uber 4 pay is capped at 250k , could be lower than Google l3.
Thanks. So i would definitely go with 5a.
L4
