Snap L5 numbers?

Expecting an offer. Does L5 really maps to G/FB L6? I am interviewing with G/FB for L6. How difficult is to push for L6 at Snap?

Heard Snap L5 comp can beat G/F 6.

Snapchat snappity Oct 11, 2019

Yes. It’s over 600K TC when you average the value of refreshers over 4 years.

Just received an L5 offer from snap that is 100% in alignment with the levels.fyi data

Microsoft blind2 OP Oct 11, 2019

So TC around 570? Are you currently L6 at Amazon? YOE?

Amazon ywgX52 Oct 11, 2019

Ya TC right there and matches what @snappity said above with refreshers. I am L6 with 10 yoe

How hard was the interview? Did you get referral or directly applied?

Microsoft blind2 OP Oct 11, 2019

Pretty standard. It was a combination of LC hard and medium with some system design portion

Expedia Group plsreferme Oct 11, 2019

Did you apply or you were contacted by a recruiter?

Snapchat snappity Oct 11, 2019

OP, what’s your level at MS? 65/66?

Microsoft blind2 OP Oct 11, 2019

66! Is it worth pushing for L6?

Snapchat snappity Oct 11, 2019

Don’t think so. L5 standard offer will get you to 650k total comp (averaged over 4 years with refreshers). Try to negotiate more stock. It’s a pretty good deal. It’s very unlikely they’ll change level after decision is done.

Congratulations OP! Are you a backend engineer? How many LC hards did you get asked?

Microsoft blind2 OP Oct 12, 2019

Don’t do leetcode much. But at least half of the coding ones are probably hard.

Microsoft blind2 OP Oct 12, 2019

Yes I primarily work on backend
