Will a company like Amazon consider a 8+ years of IT experience (most of it is not relevant experience or working on outdated technology) candidate for junior (2+ years IT exp) position?
First things first, it matters whether you have 8 years of experience in the role you’re applying to or in the industry in general. If you’re applying to L4 engineering role with this much experience it indicates that you’re uncoachable. It’s a red flag in other words. Try getting into mid level position.
Ya make sense...thanks
Yeah I agree with this. As a former amazon manager of systems engineers and system devs, I would normally expect people with more than 4 YOE to apply as an L5. It’s not that I wouldn’t hire people with >= 4 YOE as an L4 but I’d really have to look at their work history to see if there’s a reason they’re not L5 already. If someone had say a few years experience at very small companies and a couple years at something like Honda, then ok maybe L4. If it was 4+ YOE at a large company like Honda, just not a tech focused company, I would expect L5.

Asians - what are your thoughts on asian female white male ?
Why would you degrade yourself like that?
That is assuming there will be more chances of getting the job. Also, most of the experience is not relevant experience or working on outdated technology
Juniors at FANG make twice what seniors at Honda make. So it will be a step up.
