Employees of Snap, their friends, and those who are in the know, what is the typical, minimum, and maximum YoE you have seen for an L4 at Snap in Seattle? Really looking forward to applying, but don’t want to get ahead of myself.

Currently SDE II, promoted a little over 1 year after joining Amazon, just vested my 2.5 year RSU’s and what to leave for greener pastures. I really don’t want to wait for 3 YoE or more to leave since this place is awful.

What are the chances I get a decent L4 offer from Snap?

YoE: 2.5
TC: 200k

    Are you on pip? Why would you leave amazon at 2.5 years of tenure when you would have 60% of vested stocks you can get in the next 2 years?

      You most definitely would negotiate regarding invested rsus, however, if the base TC is significantly higher.. then it'll be difficult, but that doesn't mean you can't get your next rsu vest as a signing bonus

      If OP switches into Snap at L4 they should expect 400k and we also have crazy benefits and a good culture. I think the move would be justified

    Did you do well in your interviews? That will determine L4 vs L3

      The best way to get the answer to your question is to get an interview, then ask the recruiter whether you will be considered for L4 with 2.5yoe if you kill the interviews. I got L4 with 3yoe so I wouldn't expect .5 yoe impacting that if you do well.

      Congratulations! That is my plan after I get caught up and primed with LC and system design. What kind of offer did you receive if I may ask?

    I got it at 3, 2.5 sounds reasonable. Apply, make your expectations clear to the recruiter and go for it!

      That’s what I was checking out as well, but wanted to hear from the people. Sometimes levels.fyi leaves off master degrees and such that could affect YoE
