I have been working at Amazon for 1.75 years and I'm current an L4. I don't expect to be promoted in the next 6 months (hopefully within 9). I have recently received an offer for google for L3 position.

1. I am hesitant to take the google offer considering the long promo process (another 2 years). Should I stay at Amazon considering it would be a faster promotion process?

2. I'm seeing crazy Amazon L5 offers with the new bands. In terms of TC, will Amazon L5 > Google L4? Or is this for only for external hires?

3. Is it reasonable to ask the google recruiter to receive more interviews for an L4 position? I have heard of other candidates asking for a 2 more interviews to level up to L4 after being given an L3 offer.

TC: 160k

    Go to Google as L3 and then boomerang back to Amazon later as L5. The crazy high Amazon TC you see for L5 is for external hires only. Internal promo will put you at bottom of L5 TC band, around 210k.

    There is no harm in explaining exactly these thoughts to your Google recruiter. If they don't give you an L4 interview you know your feedback was not strong enough to defend that.
