One of friend interviewed with Amazon India at Chennai for sde 2. The hr called and told her tat they are offering sde 1 but for a higher pay. Is it a good option ? And how much does the pay usually go upto for sde 1s ?
If pay is good, why not? SDE1 to SDE2 process is now more or less streamlined. Very much doable to get promoted in 18 months Also your friend comes in with lower expectations from management , giving him/her more breathing room and space to ramp up. This could in turn make life easier. Just ensure you are close to new SDE 2 total compensation ballpark.
Could you give some pointers on the requirements to get to L5 in that short period of time.
Typically how much should my friend expect for a salary for sde1 in this case ?
Did your friend end up joining? I can provide some pointers if needed.

Getting sde1 offer is better than not getting SDE2 offer, which your friend didn’t qualify for
