Hi Guys, Joining AWS as a soln architect L6 soon. just curious, what time-frame should I be targeting for, in terms of promotion to L7. also what paths are available i.e SA Manager, Principal SA ? @Amazon
2 years minimum
2 years minimum. Average is 3 to 4 years. Some SAs never make it or don’t want to make it to L7.
Just curious, why wouldn't they?
Because of small TC bump vs extra stress, BS, politics or because they decide to move to another role internally, customer or competitor that makes more money 💰

It could take a long time but it really depends on your work, how well you’ve documented your work (including what teams you collaborated and led, what the customer impact was, how much it saved Amazon, etc), and your promotion committee (~5 individuals including your manager, skip, peers, and some people you’ve never interacted with during your work). It also depends when you submit the promo doc.
