    Reasonable offer... You can negotiate it up to 600k a year with the new bands. I've heard 700k L7 PMTs as well, but it's grapevine.

    You will learn a ton and feel like an Amazing business leader in your stint. Note that the actual hourly rate will be a better financial metric to focus on in case it sucks the life out of you in return.

      You'll have a pretty big number in the denominator when calculating $ per hour. L7s typically need to work much longer hours, depending on the team and the organization.

      Theoretically, L7s are also more talented and can scale than L6s, so I would assume the work expected to be put in feels the same as what an L6 put in. ;) L7s in-training Vs seasoned L7s may be subject to different amount of pressure they are subjected to purely based on their actual competency.

      OP
      @Twitch, do you guys get similar $ as rest of Amazon?

      I was in talks with 5 different Amazon teams and was interviewing with G, Meta and Spotify. I didn’t have to negotiate. I was told by the offer person that hiring manager really wants me in his team and offered me this. I just started this week and it will be 50% in office vs remote.

      The whole process was quick. I extended it a bit as I had other interviews that took much longer and needed very different prep than Amazon.

      I come from a tech background and have spent 10 yr in product which I think helped. But it is glorified story telling so you have to sound convincing.

      @OP - Twitch comp is set up the same but I left as an L6. I am debating boomeranging back though for an L7 role, hence my ask for insight. Appreciate the transparency sir!
