Are there any changes to Amazon L7 bar? Might be selection bias but I am seeing lot of 6-8 Yoe getting promoted to principal engineers in recent years.

    All promos have loosened up at all levels. Part of it is the scale now and part of it is the job market demands we promote more fairly and faster to retain top performers.

    Not officially. Managers have been more aggressive putting people up for promotion to retain top employees lately. Most PEs have 20+ years in the industry. 8 YOE is a lower bound and I don’t know anyone that young in the band, but there might be a couple rock stars who invented something major. If you create a Billion dollar business, you could be promoted to PE too.
