So I accepted an offer for a Program Manager iii L6 role and have 12 years of experience at top companies. I will be managing a team at Amazon but I notice many people on LinkedIn at Amazon with this title are maybe 5 years out of school at most. Did I get under-leveled? Maybe I can move up faster.
$220k they said it was as high as they could go in the band
Sounds about right
How hard would be to move to l7 if I am already managing a team?
It’s hard to say. Even L5s manage teams at Amazon. Tbh, L7 is a pretty big deal. You’ll really have to stand out
Nah, you did the right thing imo. And yes, PMs are generally ICs
Yes
220k that’s it ??? With 12 YOE I’m stunned
I guess location matters maybe? @OP which loc?
For Both Seattle and bay it’s low. Is OP in non tech PM ??
I don’t know if it’s tech or not. It said I had to know coding in job description. I have a master in industrial engineering and an mba
Could you please provide a split of your TC? Including sign on
Base: $151k Signing: $60k and $44k RSU: 77 shares
I really think that’s too low. I thought amazon paid higher for L6. Good luck .
Hopefully I can get into Microsoft or google later on
Microsoft is much lower I think lol . Google FB Lyft uber LinkedIn the place to be

Amazon hierarchy is pretty flat. Don’t compare yourself with someone with 5 yoe. You can be coming in as a high L6. Btw, TC being offered?
