Recently gave L6 SDE interview and I think I aced all rounds except bar raiser.
Got L5 numbers today
330K + 50k special sign on
I am level 63 at msft with ๐ฅ 240K TC. 10 YOE
I rejected offer immediately and, actully bar raiser was pretty hard to understand his ascents. So it took lot of time for me what he is asking in question itself. I told this to HR immediately but no action from them.
Is it all done with that one bar raiser ? Seriously feeling bad, I worked so hard to get there.
Though FB/G/Dropbox interviews are lined up, but wanted to work in AWS

Donโt join as L5. Promotion to L6 is very political and there are folks on your future team who are probably lined up for it. Either youโll come after their promotions or they will make you a PIP candidate.
I don't think working in AWS is as glorified as it looks from the outside, good work only in some teams. You probably dodged a bullet.
I left as L6 and my pay at that time was $300~~ for Seattle
And now L5s r getting $380
Seriously W T F
I just sucked in msft on l1b visa and bad managers. First year on h1b this time finlly got on lottery - need to work hard to catch up with my friends.
Ps - i worked in amazon as sde-1 from 2014 to 2015 - left amzon too soon
