Google has had some similar dilutions for L6 but less at 7. Org heavily changes responsibilities, but L7s usually would be experts in a tech stack and have delivered multi year visions benefiting product and tech infra.
L7 at Google >>> L7 at Amazon.
Also levels at G start at 3 and Amazon at 4.
Have also worked with somebody hired as a principal more recently; can confirm they were useless, net negative to the company. Made lots of irrelevant comments about other people's designs, gave provably incorrect guidance about how various common pieces of internet infra worked etc..
Please take any signals here with a HUGE grain of salt.
Might be better just DMing such folks on LI
Furthermore, PEs giving direction to 50-300 ppl is a big range. I would say it is closer to 50 than 300.
