Going through team matching (after onsite). After a few weeks of waiting for L7 EM matches, recruiter recommended that L6 will have a stronger chance of matching and HC.

I have been L7 SDM at Amazon for 5 years, no path to Director yet. Worried that going to L6 EM at Google will put me one step behind for rest of my career, e.g. when I look for next gig after Google. Also, I don’t know if Google can match my comp with L6 offer.

Is there any way this could actually accelerate my career path or keep current pace? eg. getting google on resume, or I might actually get promoted to L7 in 1-2 years. If yes, how do I optimize for that in team matching?

Other option is to wait for L7 matches, which could take a long time.

TC: $800k YOE: 5 as L7 SDM
