I am in the process of getting L5 (equivalent to Staff) at Snap. I need to choose from the above teams. How are the teams ?. How much total compensation can I ask for ?. I have offers (no number yet) for Google L5 and Facebook E5/E6 (yet to get info on this). #snap #snapchat #google #fb #faang
YOE and offer numbers?
Total 12 years of experience. Last two years at Amazon. I don't have numbers yet for any company. I purposefully delayed them so that I can get them at the same time and negotiate
I am familiar with both. Good teams to join. Come to make money not the work. The stack is nowhere as mature. Expect operational pain on infrastructure teams.
During the interview, the engineers interviewing me said the work is relaxed in infra. Not sure which which infra teams they are in.
Afaik L6 is staff, L5 is more like senior. And managers in ad targeting are really bad. I don’t know much about ad delivery infra though.
Can I DM you to talk more
Yeah, sure
Are you sde3 right now at Amazon? I've heard good things about delivery infra. Knew a friend who worked there.
I am SDE II

I think USA will go bankrupt. What should one do?
Is L5 equivalent to staff? I thought it was senior, no?
L5 at Snap is supposedly equivalent to L6 elsewhere like G / FB. levels.fyi is updated with new Snap levels though which shows it overlaps with 5 and 6.
