Roles and responsibilities for 602 senior associate software engineer at JP Morgan chase

I'm evaluating an offer from JP Morgan chase for a cloud security engineer role. Any thoughts on responsibilities for level 602? Is this equivalent to SDE 2 or SDE3 in companies like Amazon and Microsoft?

You should try to get them to make you a VP. It’s a heavily political promotion and if you come in as top of band for 602 you’ll be kind of stuck. Levels don’t really correlate super well to other companies imo. it’s a mid level to senior role. I’d say VP is more comparable to SDE3

Thank you! Sounds like promotions are not results based?

Nope, it is politics/chance based. Literally “impress these managers that have little to do with you in order to get promoted... but oh wait, this guy over here has been trying for a few years.. so we will just promote him instead. better luck next year!”

SDE1 -> analyst SDE2 -> associate SDE3 -> VP
