I was an L6 swe at Amazon as well, depends when they were L6. 10 years ago the L6 swes were amazing. Super hard promo, it got easier over time. (I became L6 much more recently (

My anecdote: 10% - why haven't they made you L7 yet? 50% - solid 20% - you were promoted too soon, but you certainly have the competence to grow into it 20% - how did you ever get to L6 in the first place?

Most of the Uber 5Bs are in the promoted too soon / how did you ever make it L6 buckets mentioned above
SDE3 is more about envisioning project roadmaps and technical blockers related to it, not just code skills
