      I don’t know about l5-l6 at lam, but if you use the Google/FB/amz example, l5 is really a conversion point for eng to manager and l6 is 100% manager. To get hired at l6, you need significant people management experience, with examples to back it up. Things like, have you fired people, have you dealt with underperformed,, have you mentored people, what are your processes for delivering projects successfully, what do you do when projects are late.
