This is the email I received. I am bit confused about second point. What does it mean ? Amazon not looking for engineers with other 10 years of exp ? Isn’t it a weird requirement?

We would like to confirm the following criteria with you:

· You are seeking a back-end coding position

    I had the reverse experience. Why dont they instead say this is a L5 position and not L6 .Are you interested? Or something like this is a mid level and not senior level role . Are you interested. Putting a minimum experience bar is ok but maximum is wierd.

      Depends on if that org/manager considers L5 terminal. There is a good argument to be made if you haven't progressed past L5 within 10 years that you might never pass it.
      Which for some managers is fine. Good L5s can be a god send, but if you are trying to hire an L5 hoping to promote to L6. Hiring someone performing at an L5 level after 20 years probably isn't the best decision.

    It's a shit show here. Folks with more experience won't run in circles if they're threatened with PIP. So now they change the criteria for extracting work from the demographic.

    Perhaps they are looking only for an L5 engineer req. That's why the 3 to 10 YOE cap

  • They want to align you to SDE2 position, as they don't have headcount for SDE3.

    What business unit is this? Put their ass on blast. If you’re qualified for L6 they should shop you around.
