Recruiter at Lyft asked my level at Amazon (SDE 2) to gauge what level I should be considered for. I told her but never asked what level that would be at Lyft. Would someone in my position be considered for T5 or did mentioning that automatically put me in T4 bucket? Onsite in two weeks. (Getting these levels from levels.fyi) YOE: 6 TC: 200k
Just ask recruiter. You want to be T5 I'm assuming, if you ask recruiter they will ussually set up that loop.
have u checked levels.fyi

I was placed on the T4 loop with 4 yoe.
Good to know. Did the recruiter tell you that? Also, how was the interview process?
I didn’t inquire about the level - was just told in the pre on-site phone call (but after the technical phone screen) which loop I will be going through. I didn’t interview for the pure SWE role - it was an engineering role but not pure SWE. Won’t elaborate as I don’t want to dox myself but the difficulty was fair. I would say comparable to Amazon. System design wasn’t too bad (conceptually straightforward web application that has a lot of 3rd party dependencies that have a variety of failure modes), the coding question was a top occurring leetcode medium for lyft. Behavioral was fair as well. Other questions were pertinent to the specific role I interviewed for, the difficulty was not a surprise
