  • Is there more prestige for Google because people get rejected by them too much?

    All the other FAANG companies have significantly higher pay than Google right now, and it’s bizarre that Google is still more prestigious. How is that possible? They can’t possibly retain top talent by under paying.

    Don’t get compensated in prestige. It’s same as brownie points.

    And what can you exchange that prestige for? Can you get one subways sandwich in exchange for it?

  • For this question, actually Amazon (as much as I hate to say it). Amazon doesn’t have staff/sr staff engineers so to get to senior, you need to do the equivalent of staff at other companies.

      This here, getting L6 at Amazon is harder than L5 at the others.

      Inside the industry, yeah. You can see this with how Senior (L6) at Amazon tend to go on to Staff at FB/Google, but Seniors at FB/Google will not get Principal (L7) offer at Amazon - the scope just isn't there for FB/Google Senior Engineers.

      FB/Google engineers that get Principal at Amazon tend to be Staff engineers.

      Outside of the industry, being a senior engineer is not prestigious at all. It's like how senior manager is not prestigious but director definitely is.
