How do job titles in the job posting line up with pay grades? "XXXX Development Engineer" in the job posting = Level ? paygrade "XXXX Development Lead" in the job posting = Level ? paygrade What are the job levels? My current company is: 1. Entry 2. Staff 3. Senior 4. Principal 5. Chief 6. Distinguished (< 10 people in a 8500-person company) 7. Fellow (about 3 people)
Thanks this is useful info
External title and internal level are not always aligned. In general, Senior IC (individual contributor) is L6, Principle is L7, Senior Principle L8, there’s no L9. Distinguished is L10. Most IC roles starts at L4. For Manager roles. L5 is the Interim Manager. Manager is L6, Sr. Manager L7. Director L8. GM/VP is L10 EVP / SVP /CxO is L11 Jeff Bezos is the one and only L12
Principal, not principle.
Beware Amazon caps pay rather low and puts heavy accent on RSUs. Great if you are calibrated as successful and stock keeps performing. Otherwise... Many people leave after two years because the system is screwing them.
XXX Development Engineer is usually L5 or L4. Form industrial hire it’s usually targeted at L5 but can be downgraded to L4 if YOE is low and interview performance is not impressive. IC terminal level is L5. If there’s “lead” in the title then it’s usually a L6
I have 12 years experience across 3 different industries. Recruiter told me that everyone said that I "completely crushed" the interview. By terminal level, you mean beyond L5 is a manager? Or it could also be a senior principal that supervises younger engineers?
Everyone is expected to reach L5 or will be let go. But you can stay at L5 until retire. Not everybody can reach L6. So “terminal” level. Other companies have it too. It looks like you would be offered a L6.
Got it. Like 'career level'. The levels.fyi site shows L6 as 10.4 yr average experience, so L6 seems reasonable based on my YOE and interview feedback.
