Recently got promoted to L6 BIE (senior BIE) in Amazon with total of 5 years of work experience. If FB offers a E4 position, is this a demotion? Or it is completely normal based on my YOE. And would you go if FB offers E5 position but not much TC increase from current role? If my eventual goal (in 3 years or so) is to become a product manager, is the transition from analytics role to PM role easier in Amazon or in Facebook? Thanks. #data #dataanalytics #datascience
Hi OP! Can I dm you to learn about your experience? I have my on-site coming up.
It might not be a demotion, but consensus is that a 6 at Amazon roughly equates to 5 at FB. TC might be very close between the two (6 vs 4). I’m an L6 BIE and just accepted an IC5 DS role at FB for ~300K TC (not in Bay Area). I also used to be a PM at Amazon for a few years. DM me if you want to chat about the transition.
Wow , I am in a similar mindset but I don’t have offers from FB
L6 at Amazon is generally thought to have the responsibility of a 6, the YoE of a 5, and the TC of a 4.
Why not DE? IC6 or at least IC5 would be more likely, wouldn’t it?
TC?
What was your TC increase after being promoted?
Is L6 BIE also the same as Manager, BIE?
Senior BIE usually

I have worked at TikTok US core tech for 3 years. AMA.
Yes, technically a demotion from 6-4 4 for DS at FB probably pays more than 6 for BIE at Amazon, and 5 at FB pays significantly more (share your TC here to confirm) Yes, easier to transition to PM at FB from DS because it's a very product-heavy role (but you would get down leveled most likely)
Thank you. Current TC 220K.
Yeah even IC4 DS at FB should be in the same ballpark (and then grow faster due to better refreshers and salary growth, even ignoring possibility of getting promoted) IC5 would blow this out of the water Easiest PM path would be if you get IC5 DS and then transfer to PM at IC4
