I have 8 years of software engineering experience and is working as a Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg. Since Bloomberg has no ladder, my role is pretty much highest position as individual contributor. I am considering to jump the ship and will be applying to FAANG. How will these company decide which level will I be placed considering I am (just) Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg.?
SDE3 would probably be the target.
I would want to apply for SDE 3 considering my experience here at Bloomberg. Just wasn't sure if SDE3 in in reach.
Yes in reach, could be down leveled based on interview.
So with interview performance Amazon sde3 / Google L5 / Fb L6 is crackable ?
You will be downgraded for FB - E5 is likely.
Why is that so ?
I was in same boat, got l5. If you want 6 switch to manager at Bloomberg and spend 2 years there. If you come in at 6 expect a hard life coming on, especially at Amazon or Facebook.
Switching to manager is next to impossible. I have not even started the conversations.
Then bite the bullet and join at 5...but life won't be as easy on faang
Depending on interview performance, either SDE 2 or 3. 8 YOE is on the edge between the 2. FYI: SDE 3 is Sr.
