Senior or staff depending on interview performance
Can you tell me the 4-5 roles starting from base SDE role. And what TC can I expect for Senior SDE at SFO and San Diego area, any help is appreciated. Could not find details on levels.fyi
Rubbish answer above. Grad students get hired at SDE2 at Amazon. To say that those people would make Staff at Walmart is over exaggeration at best. Amazon SDE2 would map to an SDE3 here and an Amazon SDE3 would map to a Senior Software Engineer. Staff would be pushing it too much but possible if you are insanely good, have a holistic skillset and have the years of experience on paper.
Why Amazon to Walmart ??
Probably getting PiP'd out. No in their right mind would make that transition otherwise.
At Walmart, Masters candidates get hired at level 3 (software engg) and PhD candidates (or MS + 2/3 yoe) get hired at level 4 (senior). At Amazon, PhD candidates get hired at SDE II. I have been part of the hiring process at Walmart. So SDE II at Amazon = L4 Senior at Walmart.
True i was offered sde 2 at amazon and L4 at walmartlabs
Principal or Staff SDE. Titles at Walmart are bloated like a gas balloon.
