Does anyone know the chances of being up-leveled during the onsite interviews at Smartsheet? I applied for a SDE2 role because it was what came up on my job board, but I realized afterwards that they did have Sr SDE roles available. Recruiter mentioned on the first call there is a chance for up level based on performance but he sounded like he didn't really vibe with me asking that. I'm scheduling onsites now and I'm just wondering if this will be a waste of time. I just think Sr SDE aligns more with the scope/type of work I want/can do and the TC I'd be shooting for in my next role. (I suppose worst case it's extra interview practice) Update: I passed the interview. Recruiter said they attempted to push the leadership team to consider offering Sr 1 but they're staying firm on just SE 2 for some reason. Probably because they believe they can find someone who will take the SE 2 position. TC: 250k YOE: 5
Amazon SDE 2 -> is Sr 1 or Sr 2 at Smartsheet, depends on experience. A solid L6 at Amzn can easily crack Sr Principal. A couple of aws principals came in as Distinguished Engineers
Seems fake tbh. really doubt an SE2 at Amazon is a Sr2 equivalent here. Like name one person who made that jump? And no DEs came in to Smar from Amazon as Principals lol. Only RC did, and he got promoted after joining. Sr1? Totally, if you have 4 ish yoe and the interview goes well. I guess you could make that jump to Sr2, but the level at Amazon would be irrelevant, it'd be based completely on yoe.
Up level or not, run away from this place.
Agreed. Especially engineering
I 100% agree I’m trying to leave this place ASAP !
Why do u say run away?
It has become a toxic workplace where micromanagers get rewarded and promoted up the chain

Uplevel possible if you nail it. Give it a shot.
