how difficult or easy it is to transition in to SDM from L6 TPM who has software engineering experience and degrees at Amazon. i transition to TPM given my interest in it but now I want to move to SDM. is that a career path for L6 TPM at amazon? if yes what are we looking at the comp when this happens.
Actually the bar for Amazon SDMs is way below the bar for SDEs. I know someone who came in as a TPM (his job was mainly to set meetings and not even talk during the meeting. Literally he was just a coordinator) and moved to SDM without any coding/design interviews, and everyone was so pissed because he had no clue in the technicalities. He then moved to w different org right after the "promotion".

At Amazon when you switch tracks you have to re-interview right? And L6 SDM gets coding questions? If so, then might as well try it out.
