Specifically, what Google level should a high L6, early L7 Amazon SDM target when switching? And does Google pay better at the equivalent level?

    Google pays shit tons better. but AMZN stock appreciates faster. an L7 sdm at Amazon maps to an L6 em at Google. since AMZN doesn't keep sdms in touch with coding you may fail the coding rounds. be careful.

      L6 managers manage managers, but still does code reviews and some coding, although usually not much, L5 managers manage a team and code pretty regularly

      an L7 sdm at AMZN is 350 - 500 total comp yearly. an e6 manager at Google starts around 420 and can go to 600. Google expects everyone to code. if you aren't contributing technically then you aren't useful. hence, make sure you prep for those interviews.
