Considering moving to AWS. I’m currently a Devops Engineer II which is roughly equivalent to an L5. Have led several teams. Currently, lead engineer on our engagements. Just wondering what they look for in an L6. YOE: 20 yrs as a software engineer/architect, 6 yrs DevOps specific.
Are other 14 years in tech/software? If so they will consider you as L6 and downgrade you if needed based on interview performance
Yes all software related. Thanks.
L6 will be leading multiple teams. L5 is just an engineer in one team. Depends how much responsibility you want and can handle. In my experience Amazon will be happy to interview for L6 even if you haven’t been leading multiple teams / 15 or so engineers.
L6 does not lead multiple teams. You're thinking L7.
Is L6 = SDE3?
L6 would be more appropriate. Depends on the team what the makeup is. Mine is 3 L6, 3 L5, 2 L4.
