I’m coming up on 4 years in August 2021 and wondering what I should think about when it comes to leaving my job and spending some time on the road.

- FB and Lyft level title Does FB and Lyft have internal titles for their SDE level like E6 or T6 or is it just a number? I like the idea that all SDE use simple title Software Engineer, which is what Microsoft did during its glorious time before year 2000. Everyone cares about level and compensations but keep it implicit ho

I suppose it’s possible that I could be downleveled in an offer to E4/L4 or equivalent. In terms of LONG term career growth and happiness, would this be an okay trade? I’m kinda looking to leave Lyft a
- Waymo L5 to L6 Folks at waymo or Google, what is the general duration people spend at L5 before getting promoted to L6? I understand the scope at L6 is much broader and the expectation is that you bring projects and lead the execution to completion. But wanted to know how long do people take to make this jump? Wha
- What companies are worth jumping ship to from AWS? Bored at Amazon, team is trash, L6 promo is at least 18mo. Even then with TT and crazy stock growth not worth much.

Now, I'm feeling burnt out (WFH) and looking to change. Looking at the past threads, it looks like high E5 can map to 5B and T6 at Uber and Lyft respectively. I was wonder
- TC optimization I researched into current job market, seems that tier one company( FAANG) is only willing to pay mediocre salary, for example for l4 level max pay at fb is 270k. While tier 2 companies like Lyft, snap etc can target 300k+ tc for l4. Looks like there is a margin cost for them to hire these eng from

However, I have no intention of staying for the promo and would rather get away from this toxic culture and crazy low comp:work ratio. I've had quite a few recruiters
- Infra @ Airbnb Seattle Have an offer to join Airbnb in Seattle. Perks, comp, wlb all look great. My one reservation is finding infra heavy work. My understanding is that Airbnb organizes teams vertically, so almost everyone is full stack. Are there teams in Seattle that just build back-end and have good growth/mentorship
- Companies better than LinkedIn I’m now at some infra team at LinkedIn. Overall it’s positive experience with amazing culture, high engineering standard, good pay and learning. However I feel people around are talented, and promo is quite slow. Even though I get promoted, people say LinkedIn title is inflated, which I disagree at

- Unsure what to do about Amazon offer I recently interviewed at Amazon for SDE L5 but ended up getting an L4 offer for ~190k TC in NYC. My current TC is theoretically ~200k at a startup if bonus gets paid out, which I see as unlikely due to company performance, so realistically 150k plus a ton of useless equity. 2.5 yoe with no prior F
