Amazon L6 tc 570 Meta E5 tc 470 + 100sign on Amazon L6 Pros: - scope; - work will be similar, consistent career Cons: - pip culture; - team and me are located differently (same timezone tho) Meta E5 Pros: - infra track, good for tech growth; - flexible in team selection (boot camp); - team and I will be in the same location. Cons: - stock dropped, DAU declining, future not as clear as amzn. - scope is smaller YOE: 4.5 w/ phd
Both are pip factories. Amazon L6 maybe riskier at 4.5 yoe
L6 at 4.5 YOE. I can smell Amazon's desperation from far away.
Meta E5 is equivalent to L6 tho. Are both companies desperate?
L6 is a large band that overlaps 5 and 6 at Meta. We know amazon hires externally where they think the candidate is at least better than 50% of current L6. So sounds like Amazon is slightly more desperate ;)
What scope difference do you think there will be? Can you elaborate
AFAIK, L6+ percentage is lower than E5+. L6 has more leadership role. L6 theoretically has the opportunity to be sdm3 while E5 cannot switch to M track.
That’s all theoretical scope. Levels are hidden in FB, many E5s are operating at E6 scope - because that’s how you get promoted to E6 If you have the skills for larger scope it will be easy to convince managers during team match to let you take on a bigger scope role. On the other hand if you don’t have those skills, at L6 at amazon you’ll be in danger of pip as your baseline expectations are higher
Amazon l6 has bigger scope than meta, meta offer is valid for 1 year . Join amazon if you don't like it go to meta
Offer valid from interview date?
Can you decline the offer and it will be still valid for a year or accept the offer and set a start date next year?
L6 in 4.5 YOE 🙏
What is the location for both the offers?
You should be pipped for even asking this
Title says E6 but content says E5 ?
Typo. fixed now
It's a no brainer for people with the right mind. I interviewed so many Amazon L6 who joined as E5 (some as E6 with many more years experience). I know one FB E4 who didn't get promotion after 3 years joined Amazon as L6.
Did that E4 just not work at all? Wondering what his/her circumstances were that led them to that point. Also wouldn't they have gotten PIP'd after 2 consecutive no strong cycles.
Poll? Meta will likely win but still…
