    Contrary to what others are saying, you can get sde 2 interviews at 1yoe. I had got them from Amzn, directi etc. But all companies might not do so and you will have a lot of options at 2 yoe so prepare well and wait would be my suggestion.

      Extremely start people get promoted in less than a year (and this happens at Google, Amazon, Facebook etc). But that doesn't mean external candidates can start applying for SDE2 at 1 YOE.

      Cool thanks guys! I’ll stay here till 2 yoe and then apply. And yes @Media.net I’ll hopefully get promo in the next perf cycle but I’m not very keen to get promo here or in MS since MS in general pay 🥜. My TC was much lower before 1yoe. Thanks to last cycle increment. At least I’ve a little competitive TC now

    Internal promotions to SDE2 are different.
    You cannot get an SDE2 referral at 1.3 YOE. You need 2 atleast.
    If you want to test the waters (to apply for Google), Amazon is not the right place. Google's difficulty level is higher and they don't ask design questions as well for L4.
    Leetcode is your only option.

    You won't get sde2 at 1.3 yoe.
    Stay where you are for 1 more year or switch as sde1 if you really wanna change your company.

      Then how do people get promo to sde-2 at 1yoe? I know folks myself who’ve done this. So, I guess its not common for 1yoe but possible nonetheless

      Internal promo is different. You can see people with 3-4 yoe as sde3, but there's no chance anyone external will be considered for sde3 at this yoe.

    Not sure how many companies in India offer SDE-2 for < 2 yoe.

      Shut up JPMC. As if you're digging gold there.
      Why do people not think before imposing their opinions on others. You don't have to be so wise to understand this. Amazon is a bad company but still better than a lot.
