Levels at Microsoft
A) What is the market facing title for L66 and above levels at Microsoft? B) What is the equivalent at Microsoft of Amazon L7? C) Rank the below titles at Microsoft in decreasing order of seniority: e.g Principal > Senior Director > Director > Senior Manager > Partner
L66 is Principal band. Could be principal engineer, principal engineering manager, could even be director depending on the org.
Thanks. Is Principal > Director. And is Partner > Director
Director is a management title, not a seniority title. Principal is right above Senior in the seniority ladder. Partner is above Principal. In management ladder, director is usually above manager. A director could be a principal or a partner
L66 would be Principal or Sr Director. L7 equals L64 or L65.
Business and Engineering are different A. Senior Director (biz) and Principal PM B. Director (biz) / Principal C. CEO > EVP > CVP / TF > Partner (DE in some cases) / GM > Senior Director / Principal GPM > Director / Principal > senior > eng 2 > eng 1.
No, L7 is 66-67. L6 =64-65. L8=Partner/GM.
MBAs come in at amazon at L6.
There is an over lap in all levels when you move across companies with m:n map. Stop fighting which is where mapped. Just pick one Job id, prepare for it and then go for internal. How you perform in interview is going to matter on whether you get proper mapping or not.
