Amazon L6 tc 500 k for 2024 Yoe 9 and at Amazon 4 Dropbox wanted me to interview there for L4 machine learning engineer. Band 410 to 550k My team is okay and I don’t hate my team. What’s the chance to get L5 staff at Dropbox
YoE? Hard to get above IC4 as an external hire at Dropbox. Also not a great place to be right now but YMMV, may still be better than AMZ.
You would have to blow it out of the water to get L5. I assume that you're in Seattle so the range should be at least 500k for L4 MLE. Dropbox is going downhill, but it is still miles ahead of Amazon. Plus remote first.
How will you pass the culture interview though? It’s very difficult for ex Amazon
If you have a shot at L7 inside, stay. L4 at DBX is like second half of Amazon L5 through 1st half of L6. FWIW I'm trying to come back to 🍌🌎 right now because Dropbox has no leadership or business plan.
Sometimes people are up leveled based on interview
