Hello Total experience 12+ years. Prior to L5 at Google, I have been at Amazon for 9 years, 3 of which were at L6 level. I don't like my current team at Google and the internal mobility sucks currently. So thinking of applying outside, also in case there is a layoff, I would be better prepared. Thinking of applying to : * Apple ICT5 * Facebook E6 * Microsoft L66 Also what kind of LC would they expect at these levels? # microsoft #facebook #apple TC: 375K
At the level you're at, I would anticipate leetcode medium to hard. Focus mainly on system design and leadership
No pleasantry no warmup straight to LC hard, interviewer will just sit there kept silent and watch you implode, I heard.
So you’re layoff-prone and will solve it by joining more recently at another layoff-prone company?
No, I think everyone is layoff prone. I will prepare myself if the layoff happen by not wasting 1 month on LC
I think L5 @ GOOG -> L66 (MSFT) might be unlikely. Especially for an IC. You might be considered for L65. Others will answer your question. Good luck though
Agreed. I was at MS.
OP why didn’t you boomerang to Amazon last year? It’s 550-650k without an interview for ex-Amazonions
Also Amazon L6 -> Google L5 resets your career. It’s easier to get a Microsoft L66 offer as Amazon L6
What? Amazon L6 = google L5 why would you say it resets career lmao Amazon’s ladder starts with L4 bro
I had to solve 2 lc hard in 45 mins from companies like Walmart and JPM chase. Don’t know how can anyone solve these if they have not seen it before.
I have had this experience mostly from junior engineers as interviewers
lc hard is the norm now. You must answer these with runnable code and with 100% correct behaviour to even be considered. GL!
