What to expect? How hard is the interview compared to Amazon senior interview? I just got the offer for Amazon senior (all online due to COVID-19) I can wait for Twitter onsite or accept Amazon. Previously L63 at Microsoft. TC 220k. YOE 10. Current TC 340k
What’s the amazon offer like?
370k TC
I would say give Twitter. But SFO might not be a good move from Seattle. Can you give split of base and joining bonus at amazon? What is your current base pay?
Is your amazon offer SDE3 or SDE2? Do you mind sharing what business unit?
Sde3
If it’s in Bay Area, I could share more details with you. Please feel free to DM me.
I have had the experience to ask amazon upfront. They are very much flexible at times. They could wait till you finish your other interviews. I think it would be worth giving a shot at Twitter.
Twitter is offering your Staff? Staff at Twitter is similar to staff at Google/FB. Checks levels.fyi. TC is 400k+. I doubt you woll get it.
I have 11 YOE. Why would they not offer staff?
Are you currently l63 at msft?
Which org?
Bigger emphasis on system design http://www.practicecodinginterview.com/blog/2018/8/18/the-system-design-interview
Twitter Staff would probably be 500k+. It will probably be 1 level harder than a senior FAANG interview.
not true.
Which portion?
Actually you might get it if you're a special candidate (LGBTQ/Minority). Other wise, given you are just L63 at msft, i dont think you will get it. Level of impact the Staff people have to drive forward is critical and expectations are high. Be ready to design, triage, and lead efforts.
Or, you might get it but it may be hard to be able to keep up. Unless you should be L65 at Msft and you haven't been treated well there.
Oooooh, design, triage, and lead!
Good luck. External hires staffs that I know of were L67 from Microsoft and TL from google.
Well TLs at google can be L5 and also L4s sometimes. Depends on interview performance I guess
That guy is L5. True it depends on interview perf, and we have lots of candidates from Microsoft and Amazon each year. In general candidates from Amazon performed better.
Location?
SFO
Twitter has an office in SFO?
