How does Staff at places like Google/Meta/Uber compare to Principal at Amazon?
Meta L6 is somewhere between Amazon L6 and L7. I’ve been L6 in both and expectations at Meta are significantly higher but they’re nowhere near principal status.
Had offers in all these, here is my assessment: Amazon l7 = Uber 6.5 = fb e 6.75 Uber 5b = fb e5.75 = amzn l6
Scope of Amazon Principal is much larger than Staff at those other companies. TC is another question.
Amazon PE here, can confirm scope and TC are out of wack. The result is a lot of PEs that stay are not as technically deep as L7+ at meta/goog/uber or just don't realize what they could be making. Not a good direction. Amazon PE tops out around 700k except with a dive and save. Even sr pe only tops out at 1.1m. And most people are not at the top of range, plenty below 600k. I know for certain that L7 at the others can go over 1m.
No. Amzn l7 offer goes 800k+. 185k base, 1mil+ sign on (two yr) and 1mil+ RSU This is last year, before any wage hikes this year.
Wait, that is only 800k in Amazon's fantasy TCT land. At the 185 base you would need 615k rsu+bonus. So I guess 1mm sign on and 1.5mm rsu could get you there. But this is new hires. Existing employees don't get that. I know for sure of a dive and save L7 pe recently for 1.1MM TCT was top of the official L8 band. Don't know if it would have gone through

Same level. Except Uber where 5b is more like Amazon 6.5
wtf. I have seen amazon newly minted amazon L7 joining uber as L7 and you are comparing amazon L6.5 with uber L5b. I know amazon L5 getting uber L5A so uber isn't the same you think. Recently some of my friends got amazon L6 offer from MS L62.. LOL
Okay, go interview with Uber and report back
