Hi blinders, I interviewed for an l6 role early last week and got a verbal offer yesterday! Wanted to share my experience Update: Apologies, I was checked out for a few weeks. I joined Amazon few weeks back and am extremely excited about it. My final TC was as follows: $150k base/82k yr1 bonus, 62k yr2/55 RSUs Yr1 TC: $240k. Updated: Role Sr.BIE Seattle Interview process: 1. The interview process was pretty smooth and I really liked speaking with everyone. There were three phone screens (recruiter, HM and a coding tech) followed by the loop! 2. Loop: This was my first time interviewing at Amazon. There were 5 rounds involving 6 people in total. The BR interview had two people. 3. One of the rounds was a coder-pad type sql interview. Most of the questions were around window functions (lag, running total, moving average) and self joins. 4. Each of the 5 interviewers asked at least two LPs and the bar raiser asked 3. I thought the bar raiser interview was the toughest- there were a lot of follow ups. So make sure you go into the details. It will come to you if you really worked on it ;) Waiting for the actual offer - my TC expectations are $250-$275. I have 11 yoe.
Congrats!!! I will ask for referrals in a future!! LOL 😀😀
Congrats!
When will you people stop using the level without the role? You may have interviewed for L6 janitor for all we know.
Hhahahaahhaa Janitor
This is a good point. That TC is about 50% lower than what I assumed it would be
Hmmm, make it 300k?
What role did you interview for ?
That’s crazy that Google/Facebook L4 makes more than Amazon L6
I don't think this is SWE, datascience maybe?
L4 at fb/G is like L5 at amazon, since amazon calls their fresh out of college grads L4
congratulations
Congratulations. Could you post why worked in your answering approach to the LP questions?
Three things that helped me 1. Be concise in ur first 3-4 minutes. Ofcourse, cover everything in the STAR format with a special emphasis on ur actions and results (I quantified everything) 2. Have at least 15 stories prepared. I mapped the stories to various LPs 3. Know exactly what they are looking for in an LP. I found a book on ‘amazon’ by Jennifer scupi very useful. There are a lot of online videos as well.
Thanks OP. Helps!
