Hello guys, I recently on-sited an Amazon Data Scientist position. Recruiter said the interview was sucessful, but the team inclined me from L5 DS to L4 DS. Also, the recruiter sent out my information to serval other teams for matching. My on-site was scheduled in a rush (5 days prep), and I may not fully demostrate myself during the interview. I have MS in STAT and 2.5YOE in industry. Outside my work, I am proactive in collaboration of statistics/data science, and published 9 scientific paper and 2 R packages. Is there a chance to get back on L5 DS? How long is the team matching? I am new here. Any suggestions/comments are appreciated!
It is Very unlikely they will get you on L-5
Thank you for the information!
What Tc are they offering?
Not yet at the offer stage. Recruiter told me the interview was successful, but she needs to find me a new team, because the original team doesn’t have headcount for L4 DS
Got it
Sometimes they hire on L4 and offer L-5 lower band Tc
One of my friends with 6-7 year experience at a small Company got hired as L4 DS, they said no budget and higher chance of getting fired ! Manager told him it’s in his interest although it may sound as BS !!
What is the bar to diff the L4 and L5?
Only HM can answer that based on his team and need! No universal rule
How did you go? I am in the same shoes
Did you guys get team matched ? i am in the same situation
have you matched with any team yet? I am in the same boat

2.5 years in industry as a statistician
While I was in school, I did a host of experiment design, modeling, and simulation projects for researchers. So, prior to industry, I have around 3 yoe, if they count.
