Downleveled to T4 from T5. received verbal confirmation that I passed hiring review. However recruiter mentioned no open headcount in Seattle. Anyone got matched recently? How long did it take? YOE: 3.5 TC: 150k #lyft
I’d encourage you discuss with the recruiter. It won’t change the level, but you might gain some insight. Interviews aren’t the perfect signal for level, so it could just be that your interviewers didn’t get a strong enough signal that you’re T5. On the other hand, it’s also possible you aren’t quite T5 as defined by Lyft’s level criteria. Hard to know without more info.
I received L5 offers from other companies and I went through T5 loop for Lyft and got offer for T4. Is that not down leveling? 🥶
that’s still not a down leveling. It shows that Lyft sees you as a T4. Other companies might see you as L5 if you provided them enough signals. This is not to mention the level mappings and expectations are also different for different companies.
