Currently SDE 2 SAP ios in seattle. 2.5 YOE TC 120. Am interviewing for amazon senior iOS dev with MUCH more pay, will have final rounds in a few weeks. I currently enjoy the superb work life balance at concur, not much stress, much freedom, but also fairly slow career growth. I’ve heard horror stories about amazon having no balance. How bad could it really be? any stories you would like to share? #career #move
No advice. But wanted to wish you best of luck! I am also hoping for a similar jump (low 100s to L6 product) and waiting to see if I made it to the onsite.
Too early to ask this question. You should be getting an offer first. Not demoralizing or anything. Interview outcome involves a lot of factors. Somethings are not in your hands. That being said, WLB here isn't really how bad the blind portrays it. SDE here.
Thank you for answering! I know it’s a bit early and I’m not expecting anything, just wanted to hear what people think. Time to study hard though 🙃
Amazon L6 is like google senior, very experienced. you won't pass that with 2 yoe. internship experience doesnt count
You are interviewing for L6 with 2.5 YOE?.
They reached out to me for this role, not complaining (I have ~2 full years of internship experience as well before full time)
Impressive. I don't have any first hand experience with Amazon, but good luck!
