I am transitioning from Principal Developer with mixed responsibility to Sr TPM role in Amazon India.

I was very much looking for a change got another offer for Tech Staff Engineer @Dell but seriously low balled and huge variable component in TC of 55 LPA.

Finally decided to lean on better TC and use Amazon as leverage for later career.

Please comment how to plan things with Amazon role and use it for career forward. Will I be able to live upto it?

I want to go for SDM but I don't have very strong Leet Code skills. Will it be possible for internal transfer?

Any experienced blinders kindly guide me how shoud I position myself. Love ❤️ peace ☮️

Current TC - 40
New TC - 80 LPA
YOE - 14

Will be earning peanuts better than before.😀

Edit : Here is the poll I opened a while back, please vote here - https://us.teamblind.com/s/vZ3ZUEnK

Please provide your inputs y'all.

    For amazon india, transitioning from tpm to sdm is pretty normal. Most of them don't honestly know how to code as well. It's very common and easy apparently. Just some politics plus show good LPs plus leading and delivering a few high impact projects to leadership and you should be able to make the transition.

    Have this discussion with your leadership and be on the lookout for opportunities in your org.

      OP
      Thanks for your guidance. My background is completely .Net and C# based, and Amazon seems to be using everything except .Net barring few exceptions. One more question do you think a person from Dev background will thrive in STPM role. I have good communication and collaboration skills. Although I haven't created any excel planners etc. Also can you tell what kind of tools being used for planner, documentation, task etc.

      Do you think I have made a wise choice in this transition. The role is L6 that I have got. I know URA and PIP etc, though I am not worried for that, considering if I can get into Amazon I have some potential for other organisations as well.

      I was earning 40 before this change. I earned peanuts. SSE are paid highest but I don't want to code now atleast for work. I will code only only on open source project.
