Amazing offer for AZ
Good offer for PayPal. You should be a T27 though. PayPal intentionally downlevels external candidates and promotes schmucks inside. Try asking for a level up.
He tried that, but looks like he really need to move out of AWS.
T26 is MTS2, Amazon L5 to PayPal T26 is an uplevel.
But see op’s experience. Amazon’s L5 is a down level. In fact op should be T27 ideally. I see way too many mediocre T26 and 27s at PayPal.
True, but a level is a level. OP is at L5 for a reason and YOE isn’t the answer (not trying to bash the op though). T27 Sr. MTS is a huge jump from L5 and would be having crazy expectations. Plus you know once in a while what they do with underperforming T27s - layoff. Not trying to scare the OP but it’s always good to go lateral or down leveled IF, it gets you a good comp (which exactly is the case here)
Good offer. Is ur friend in product or engineering or any other group?
