In 2018, MSFT in Redmond offered L62. As of today, I have 4 YOE in India + 3 YOE in the US. I am SDE2 at Amazon. India Experience was in top software tech companies, US based HQ, and NASDAQ traded. They have offices in Bay Area, Seattle, New Delhi, Bangalore. TC: 245K. Seattle location.
Sr see at msft is ez, you should be able to get it from sd2 amzn
What was your TC with L62? What is your expectation with L63?
L62 TC was 205K. Looking for 300K TC.
Amazon SDE 2 is a wide band. People with 1 YOE also get SDE 2 at Amazon. You may get L63 at MS if you perform really well in the interviews. Forget about L64.
Recent blind posts indicate levelling at MSFT and AMZN is similar these days. Whether or not you get L63 would depend on your interview.
Got L64 with 7 YOE. All depends on interview. Also got L5 for Uber. In both places, Had started interview 1 level lower but got up-leveled post-interview.
Talk more about your India experience.
