I’m currently a Sr. SDE at Amazon but close to PE (L7). I’ve got recruiters reaching out from Google (for Staff Software Engineer - L6) and Facebook (for an E6) role. I’m thinking about my next career move.
From a TC, WLB, prestige, and company mission perspective, what are the best companies you would recommend me looking at?
I’ve attached a screenshot highlighted with the approximate level from levels.fyi. This is a repost using a multiple selection poll so specific companies don’t dominate. Pick your top 3-5 companies.
YOE: 17
TC: $332k

I talked to Atlassian last year and they payed peanuts, will not even make sense to leave Amazon for you.
Google - usually good WLB, very unlikely to get hired at IC6 from external. TC on lower end.
Fb - possible to get hired at IC6, WLB is usually not good, TC is high.
Dropbox - appears twice in the poll. Good WLB and pay but no growth of stock.
