So I started at amazon as an L5 after about 10 years of pure development and technical lead experience at other companies. I have always been a top-performer at my previous jobs, but they all started as an engineer. Starting at Amazon, I am a bit concerned since there is no coding involved. I would love to hear from amazon managers if they have any advice for success. I am concerned about getting fired first time in my life :) Also, the team I am in doesn’t excite me much. Would it be better to make a move to team that I am interested in? I have only been there two weeks. TC 260k YOE 13
You are an SDM now? We generally don’t hire L5 SDMs externally
I am an external hire for L5 and I know many others. May be it varies by team
Push hard to add value, understand the objectives you need to hit to make it to L6.
