Passed Amazon interviews, now recruiter is asking about TC expectations. L5 position. Current TC is 350. Levels.fyi indicates Amazon probably can’t match at L5. Thoughts?
First data point of googler tech joining amazon
E4 -> L5, unbelievable
Google to Amazon? Are you high? Or just crazy?
That's way above L5 band. That's pretty high into L6 band. You won't get that.
An L5 applied scientist can def get that
Also keep in mind COL San Jose -> Seattle.
Could be for a Bay Area job.
Yeah you're likely being down leveled. What's your yoe? Did you ask for an L6 loop?
15 yoe, I got down leveled to L5 I think.
Forget about it
Amazon can match it if they think you are good they will get you in.
Yeah gonna say firm no on l5 matching that, but prove me wrong
i mean he would need to get even higher than 350k to leave. So he would have to be on high end of l6.
