How difficult is to get into amazon L6 level? I’ve heard even with 10 Yoe, amazon doesn’t entertain L6.
L6 management or IC?
Ic
I was hired in as L6 SDE with 14 yoe. I don’t think the yoe were as important as you think, though. What matters is if you can confidently answer leadership principles questions based upon personal experience.
Did you mention about L6 upfront?
Yes, the expectations were set upfront.
Not too hard. Just have to be upfront about wanting to interview at l6 and there has been a fair bit of title inflation over the years too!
Very easy. 20 yoe.
It’s pretty hard, but obviously depends on a team and bar raiser, and most importantly if you are at L6 level. If you hit and exceed the bar, they will happily hire you as L6
My interview went really well especially with the bar raiser. All other rounds went well too. I never discussed about L6 though. I got an offer for L5. Just wondering if I should have asked for L6.

I got an L6 interview with 4.5 yoe - all at MSFT and better. I did not clear the interview though ☹️ One guy in my team with 8 yoe cleared L6 interview though. So, if you have few of those yoe in a FANG/Microsoft/Uber you can definitely get L6 interview.
True..experience in big companies matter
