Hi, What is the equivalent of L7 Amazon at Google? Also what is the process for switching roles—groups or functions at Google. I know that Amazon does not have a min time in role requirement and is fairly flexible within non engineering functions. How does this compare w Google? Thanks!
L5
Is l7 principal? There are lot of overlapping levels so depending on situation it can be 5 6 or 7 .. likely 6
in all seriousness just check levels.fyi and click the little amazon logo on the top
Levels.fyi is not reliable
L5 looks matching
Google L6.
Almost all L6+ from Amazon I knew who joined Google hated it and left after one year.
IMO Amazon L5 -> Google L4 + low end of L5. Amazon L6 -> Google L5 + low end of L6 Amazon L7 -> Google L6 + some_from_L7 (at this point I am not sure where the overlap ends as I don't have enough data points).
In 2023, Amazon L7 = Google L7. Google levels are highly inflated especially for folks who are long timers. New employees used to get down leveled but things have changed with new hiring model
L3. they need to retrain you from scratch to forget the amazon ways
