Current: Google L6. TC ~600k. Yoe ~10
I’m debating between two offers.
Stripe L4 IC (staff)
- Offer details not ready and will update when it is
- Pros: hyper growth company
- Cons: not sure about how my career growth within the company will be recognized when I make the next move.
Amazon L7 IC (principal)
- TC: ~800k
- Pros: big scope leading 50-100 swes
- Cons: engineering culture and bad wlb. All principal and sr principal engineers I talked to were very chill and didn’t look stressed out much though.
More on Stripe’s leveling. They claim their L4 overlaps with google L6 and L7 and their L5 also overlaps with google L8, but not sure if other companies recognize it that way. They say on their cultures page that “Stripe has very few titles, and we don’t share promotions publicly; after a few years your LinkedIn might not look as tricked-out as your peers at other companies. Will that bother you?” I’m worried that more than how it looks, the growth at Stripe might not be recognized as well by other companies.
Please share your thoughts!

Besides even If ipo fails , that’ doesn’t mean people who join pre ipo won’t make any money.
Also , with amazon : the comp model always assumes 15% growth in future.
If that’s the “official” stand of a company ; then you decide which is more preposterous :
Blind betting on a company in an unofficial sense based on the growth of the company so far
Or
A company “officially” claiming their stocks grow 15% YoY in the future and “adjusting” comp based on this growth
L7 I don’t think stripe will have that bigger of a scope as Amazon.
Make it a poll
How many engineers do you lead at Google now as a L6?
