L64 @ msft but close to L65. Can I demand a principal tpm phone screen vs L6 tpm phone screen? Recrtr. keeps pushing L6. Don't want to waste my time, over 12 years in impactful PM roles.
Not on the SDE side. I could see this on the TPM side I guess
Been there done that. Get your principal first. 64 will NEVER get L7.
Kill the interview. I went from 64 to L7.
You can push for whatever you want. They’ll even humor you and make you do an entire loop thinking it’s for L7. Eventually they will still just offer you L6.
L64 and over 12 years in role - sorry to say but it's over investment in role. Time to cut losses would have been a few years ago, because L64 to L6 is generous at best too. Seen plenty Principal at MSFT end up L5.
Unlikely. In the SDE side, L7 at Amazon is usually at L66 or 67. 65’s seldom hit the bar. I don’t know I’ve seen a 64 make it, much less be successful.
I’ve seen L66 go to L8. If you go from L67 to L7, you have made a terrible mistake.
By L8 do you mean director or Sr Principal Tech?
