Currently L6 at Amazon 470k TC due to stock appreciation. Down leveled by Google HC to L4. What is the max TC they could offer? Is 350k possible? YOE 11 as SWE More about myself: L4 is definitely an insult to me. Have been on senior role since 2014. Joined Amazon in 2017 as L6. But I may still consider it even with huge pay cut because of WLB. Have a kid recently and cannot work overtime (Amazon parental leave sucks), but my manager is very demanding; I think I am on dev list and start interviewing. Update: Decided to stay at Amazon. With stock price close to $3500, TC has reached 500k mark on paper. Will use Google L4 as backup only if get piped in the next year. Thanks for all the comments.

What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
patpat whatโre you working on? what's your tech stack? I don't play warcraft anymore, but I remember some pro playersโ ids๐
Yeah I'm sure that's the wc3 player posting in blind ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I am still playing. Lost to Moon yesterday!
I wouldn't leave Amazon L6 for a Google T5, let alone T4. Don't let the recruiter con you into thinking that you'll be promoted in 6 months -- not gonna happen. ~300k is possible at T4 in Seattle IF you have competing offers. Your current comp doesn't get treated as a competing offer.
Thanks. I am at Bay Area.
Isn't amazon L6 = SDE 3 = google L5?
Don't do it! Google's brand-name is not worth compromising your brand
An Amazon L6 to Google L5 is not a down level. L4 though... I'd tell them to suck it
Donโt do it. L4 at Google has very limited scope.
L6 to L4 after 11YOE seems a bit harsh. Try M5 or M6 at Oracle, same or better TC and definitely better work life balance.
M6 at Oracle is l8 at aws ๐
Lol, I thought it was same levels! M5 at Oracle = l5/l6 at AWS ๐
Never take a step down on your progression. Ever. Even for more TC. That's a nail in the coffin of your career progression.
not necessarily true, I've moved back and forth between IC and Lead/Management roles multiple times in my career.
I'd save that for when I was done. Stepping backwards sucks.
As an L6 with 11 years of experience this offer is absolutely not worth.
You were demoted?
Troll.
No, L4 == L5 at Amazon.
No it is not. L4 from Amazon uplevel to Google L6 is troll.
