Been with Bloomberg for 10 years and a Team Leader for 2.5 years - Managing a team of 10 people. Want to transition into a similar role/level in these companies. What should I aim for? And what kind of interviews should I expect?
Design design and design
Do I prepare for coding rounds as well? Any recommendations on design questions preparation?
Are you planning to move out of NYC?
Yes , I'm open to moving out.
“Managing” is not really manager - everyone in east coast who is a tech lead - manages people and thinks they can be an eng manager
Team lead as in tech lead or people mgmt? If you’re still in the engineering job family, I’d say L6 at Amazon and L5 at FB / Goog. You can try to get L+1 (so L7 at Amz) but that’s very hard.
At Bloomberg, a team leader does both- tech leading and people management. Thank you. What do the M1, M2 positions mean at Facebook for example? Are they different from the L5, L6 positions you have mentioned?
