What are the eng levels at Qualtrics?

What are the eng levels at Qualtrics? How do they map to Amzn levels like sde-2, sde-3 or L7?

Not sure how they map to other companies, but it's a 10 level system. New grad non-engineers start at level 1. New grad engineers start at level 3. CEO is level 10. VP eng is level 9 I think. Engineering L4 is ~2.5-3 yoe. L5 is ~5-7 yoe. Most engineers are expected to plateau at L5. L6 is engineering manager. L7-L8 is director.

There are actually several L6 and L7 engineers in Qualtrics. L6 title is staff engineer and L7 is Principal

What are expectations from L5 and L6 eng roles?

Amazon Some123guy OP Nov 8, 2018

Seems like L6 at Q is like a principal at Amzn and L7 like senior principal at Amzn.

Eh I know an L63 at MSFT who was hired at L6 at Qualtrics.

He/she should have made a good money then. Recently there was a post about Q offer with rsus worth of 1mln.

L63 joining at L6 is rare, generally they are slotted at L5 unless you really shine
