Hey, I interviewed with Amazon for L5 position and now they are willing to offer me L4. I've over 4 years of experience and they said they couldn't move with L5 as I screwed one PS/DS interview. I don't know what should I do now? Earlier position was in Dublin and now they are not sure about location but mostly it would be Dublin, London or Luxembourg. My current take home is 76k-80k Euros with 15% annual bonus in Netherlands and also have 30% ruling which means my 30% salary is not taxed. So I save decent savings here and I'm not sure if Amazon can even give a competing offer right now with L4 as position. #Amazon
Take L4 if you're desperate. Don't hope for a significant raise once you're in
Same thing for me. Applied for SDE2 but was offered SDE1. I’m exactly at 4 years experience. Only been here a few weeks, so I’m not sure yet if it was the right call.
So why did you choose this? And also where were you working prior to this? Did you shift for tag?
Was working in fin tech previously. I was trying to move closer to home, which limited my options, and it was either amazon or another bank. I wanted to try something other than finance plus amazon paid more 🤷🏻
Don't join as a SDE 1. Promo would take 1.5- 2 years. Better try again in 6 months.
This, much easier to try again later at L5
Leave Booking, take Amazon
Hi OP, have you accepted Amazon's offer? If so, for which office/team?
Same question
Why don u just negotiate? If they cant really offer you and wanna move to amazon, L4 would not be that bad compared to your current salary surelyz
