What level can one expect moving to GCP as an AWS L7? Does Google Level AWS folks differently given the market leadership position of AWS and the need for talent for GCP to grow faster?
FWIW, mostly L6 (staff engineer) Unless your interviews went really well.
Sounds right to me based on the link above
There almost no chance you’d get L7 here unless you’re running a team at AWS with visibility. Maybe L6 at best if you’re stellar. Talk to your recruiter.
Do they look at years of work ex too or just the current level. Say an L7 with 10 years of work ex vs L7 with 15 years of work ex.
Current scope of work. I'd say L6 is likely, unless you do a borderline job in the interview, then you'd get L5. L7 seems extremely unlikely unless you're very underleveled currently
They look at years of experience, but that only carries up to L5 generally. I know of Principals at Microsoft in Infra coming in at L5. I’m sure AWS is valued but at best you’re looking L6. You’d need to have very high impact for extended periods to come in at L6.
Know one AWS L6 went to Google and got L6 as manager. But that person is clearly underleveled at Amazon and expect to get promote soon. Guess it is not a direct mapping, but target L6 for sure.
+1. Had a friend join google as l6 as an AWS l6. Another was l5 at AWS, joined fb as l5. Having said that, both were very strong for their levels. An L7 getting down leveled to l5 seems laughable based on what I've seen.
@rag especially considering how many people are at L7 in Amazon VS L5 in Google. Join as a principal in AWS, from several data points around are either professors or senior persons with over 10+ related experience in a respected company.
Not sure the non-competes have any teeth, but I would bet GCP falls under it if you’re AWS.

are AWS levels the same as Amazon? If so, levels.fyi can answer your question. Note that Google tends to underlevel, but ex AWS people should be more in demand than the average engineer. Especially being more senior.
Yes, levels are the same.
