I interviewed for Staff SRE position for a specific team with a clear expectation of transitioning into a manager. I was notified by recruiter that the HC suggested an offer for Senior (down-leveled from Staff).

The specific feedback was lack depth in sharding knowledge and something about the code review module that she forgot specifics.

I doubt they can match my current TC at Netflix so I wanted so see if anyone has any experience with negotiating the leveling at LinkedIn, for compensation reasons and obviously for a lateral transition into management track.

YoE: 7
TC: 480K

    Is “expectation of transferring into manager” a real thing at LinkedIn? Or is it just typical recruiter BS

    To clarify, I’m interested in the role only if I can negotiate for Staff/Eng Manager. Willing to take a TC hit for transition into management path.

      I’d be cautious about taking a TC hit for “potentially transferring into management”. I have friends who got similar messages from Amazon and Google and neither turned into reality.

  • They cannot match 480k at senior. There maybe a few earning around that much but they'll likely be old timers who are not keen on bumping to staff. It's above the supposed target comp for staff. I would ask for additional rounds or try again later. Interviews are not particularly hard now that you have gone through the loop once. They haven't changed the modules in forever but I hear that's changing soon though

    Levels.fyi shows LinkedIn Senior ~ Google/Meta L4. The comp should be far lower than Netflix senior.

    No way senior at Li can match netflix. Only senior staff can beat i think
