It's too late to ask for levels. The loop is determined based on target level.

I have both L6 and L7 friends that have moved over to MS as either L66 or L67. It all depends on interview performance and comp expectations. 10 yoe is generally more like L6, but as YUkR40 said, if they targeted him or her for L6 the interview panel might not be senior enough to score them for L7.

Thanks , is L6 at g senior or mid-level, he is worried he becomes junior at g / f. At msft, he is super senior

L6 at G is still quite senior. Most people never reach that level.

Thanks, but I saw most of people are staff engineer in LinkedIn, seems staff is just 3 level higher than entry level, whereas L66 is 7 level higher at msft

Microsoft has tons of mini levels that don’t mean a lot. A 60 isn’t that different than a 61, etc. Google has less levels but each is significant. And there’s no way the majority of engineers at Google are staff or even senior.

Why not way? The hiring bar is already very low

Haha I misread the title. I thought you were asking what should be the target level for seeking a girlfriend. As in "it's not worth my time to date an L65 or below" haha

He might get L5

Sounds about right.

I think he should settle for any gf he can get.
