I am currently working in apple as IC5/ ENGINEERING MANGER 2. I recently interviewed at Aws and cleared the loop. After the interview I realized that The position is for l6. Can one of you guide me how do I uplevel to L7? Should i tell this to the recruiter? If they don’t accept giving me L7, can I reject the offer and look at other L7 positions? Tc: $680k
managing a team of 20 employees and around 20 contractors. 2 engineering managers report to me.
Tell this to the recruiter. They messed up. Don’t let them try to sell you on L6 with quick level up to L7.
There is no such thing as a quick level up to L7
It’s called a “reasses” in 6 months. Rarely happens but it’s a real thing.
OP, did you not clarify this before your interviews? Usually they tell your leveling is decided by interview feedback? And what’s the tc offered? And which location ? TIA
Not necessarily at Amazon, the loop composition needs to be same level or above. L6 people can’t recommend hire at L7, so you need to be aligned with the recruiter
You cannot be up leveled, majority if not all the interviewers would have been L6. They need to construct a new L7 loop with L7+ people, like someone above said it was a miss and perhaps some communication gap.
Up level is a completely new loop
Ask for the L7 loop.
Amazon cannot match your current TC at L6. How did you not know the leveling? Amazon confirms level before the loop.
L7 is manager of manager(s) at amazon. Don’t take l6.
Not always, but most of the cases. You can be a technology L7 manager and have a flat team.
700k in addition to great WLB at Apple. Why would you come to Amazon ?
Why would anyone go from apple to amazon?
Career growth
Why would anyone ever work for Apple?
