Is the interview pattern different between L5 and L6 @ AMZN? i.e., more design-related sessions than coding for L6 and more coding sessions than design for L5 or something like that?
I have been asking for L6 level onsite interview (@Seattle), but my recruiter is insisting on coming in as L5 and said โpromotion will happen in 6 months time, since youโll have more yrs of experience than other L5sโ.
YOE: 18 yrs
Current TC: 210k (Location: PA)

As the other poster mentioned, recruiter cannot promise promotion. L5 to L6 in 6 months would only happen if it is glaringly obvious that there was a wrong leveling decision. In 7 years at Amzn, I saw that a few times for L4 to 5, but never for 5 to 6, due to much higher expectations for L6.

There was one hiring manager interview and 3 coding interview all for 1 hours, all were taken by L6.
All interviews, first 30 mins are leadership questions. In hiring manager interview, second 30 mins is for a system design. All other interviews are for coding.
I had their L5 before 5 years. They had 2 coding, 1 design and 1 hiring manager. Questions on leadership was only by hiring manager.
For L6, it is super important to show your leadership skills and match it with Amazon's leadership principles.
