Got through amazon onsite recently for L5, onto team matching. Any thoughts on the following teams? I am interested in Infra / large scale systems, so leaning towards Alexa data infra. Pointers on WLB, culture, politics, projects would be helpful. - Ads API infra - Alexa shopping - Alexa data infra - Search capacity - Search Infra - AR and visual search Blind tax: Current TC 250k 🤷♂️ Edit: No offer yet from Amazon
When you say infra, are they kind of SRE role? Also what’s your new offer at Amazon?
By infra I mean backend software infra. Still sde, different from sre, though responsibilities may overlap when it comes to supporting an existing product. Edited the post: havent gotten any numbers from Amazon yet
Is 250K your current TC or offer from Amazon?
New folks are making crazy bank.
What page is this?
Internal Amazon slack.
Do you have the numbers for L6 PMTs as well?
Hard to say There's tens or hundreds of SDEs on these teams, wait for the team match and come back for feedback Don't post on Sunday night or Monday morning Try Wednesday noon and later for larger # of people seeing post and giving feedback
Thanks for the pointers! These are my starting options, have to choose from among these to start with. Do you have any specific team/org recommendation? Location is bay area
At L5 all these above teams are fine I guess Managers is a whole different discussion, I'll let others respond. Here's a tip, post asking for teams hiring L5 SDEs who are willing to share Wlb and other info with you. You can pick your manager before the matching process ends.
