Indecisive between Amazon SDE2 and SDE1 position

Nov 27, 2021 25 Comments

I recently cracked the Amazon interview for SDE2 position(AWS). Should I go for it as I have only 1 YOE(mostly non-coding) which I think is very limited for the SDE2 position? Also, I am on OPT and don't want to risk my H1B attempt (2 attempts left) given the PIP culture at Amazon.

I feel like I am currently not ready for the SDE2 position at Amazon and am leaning more towards the SDE1 position. Any suggestions on what should I tell the recruiter/hiring manager for down-leveling the offer without raising any flags?
