1. What % of L7 PM at Meta and Google people manager and what % are IC? 2. how many direct reports do people managers who are L7 PM have?
Most of the Amazon folks take the down level due to the pay-weāve been abused for years. For the FB and G L7s Iāve observed (small sample) - they are severely over-rated. Makes too much money, works too little and have zero organizational skills. You can tell they did not have large teams before.
At this and higher levels true IC PMs get more and more scarce relative to managers. That should true at both Google and Meta. At Google, L7 PM managers typically have a handful of reports but not 10-20 typically (thatās more Director territory)
That sounds similar to L7 at Amazon. Since you are in Google, do you know why Google down levels L7 from Amazon given it is well known that Amazon L7 scope is much larger than Google L7 scope ?
Iām a L7 GPM IC at Google and have a huge scope so Iām surprised to hear that (true for other L7 colleagues too) but have never worked at AWS. Is levels.fyi far off the mark that Amazon L7 PMT spans Google PM L5-L6? That seems to at least be true in terms of TC (My tc at ~$800K is close to AWS director pay as far as I can tell). Also it looks like Amazon PMT starts at L5 whereas Google starts at L4 (L3 if you include APM) so thereās an L-1 offset thereā¦
