Considering Amazon AWS for a change of pace and for location flexibility. Would like to move to a place with a reasonable cost of living and Amazon has offices around the country. Current TC is 360k in Bay Area. 18 YOE. L5 at Google for past 9 years (only one promotion). What level at Amazon do I need to exceed my current TC? Levels.fyi says TC could be higher at Amazon L6. Is it crazy to go to Amazon due to WLB?
L7
L6 would be a lateral transfer, not likely much of a pay bump when you factor in refreshers and bonus. You should only xfer for an up level, like L7 as people mention.
Amazon L6 (Sr.SDE) could go little over 360K but wouldn't be worth it. With 9 years as G L5 and 18 YoE, you should definitely try L7 and that would come with nice increment.
Yes for the comp you are looking for L7 (Principal SDE) will get you there.
