What level are you at Amazon?

L4

Cruise vest🚢vest Nov 17, 2022

What’s the TC at Samsung? It’s hard to understand, what Mob is for example.

Intel azbycw OP Nov 18, 2022

Tc for 1st year is 295k

Cruise vest🚢vest Nov 18, 2022

That’s a good jump! I would go for it.

Amazon djjdnnjka Nov 17, 2022

From L4 to staff?

Cruise vest🚢vest Nov 17, 2022

With 5.5 YOE it could be under leveled. Imagine, if you are L4, and your manager doesn’t want to promote you, it’s hard to get the right leveling when trying to switch…

Intel azbycw OP Nov 18, 2022

Yes

I know msl team, memory solutions lab, just stay away from this fuckedup team and company, u will regret it.. too much racism, outdated tech stack and support work from korea .. nothing interesting

Intel azbycw OP Nov 18, 2022

All teams are as you say or ssd team is any different

Samsung kimjogun Nov 18, 2022

Mostly same, but MSL is next level fucked up

Intel FPaR13 Nov 23, 2022

MSL team is not fucked up. It's a good team with lots of knowledgeable folks there. Really top notch people.

Samsung MetaWorse. Nov 24, 2022

Y did u join Intel?

Intel FPaR13 Nov 29, 2022

I joined because I didn't trust AXG leadership. I think Raja is a snake and Lisa is incompetent.
