Currently L5 at Facebook - 12 years total experience. Got an offer for Amazon L7 Principal PM-Tech in Amazon Ads in NY. Still early in the negotiation process. Would love any pointers on how much room is there to push. Also, wondering about the culture at Amazon Ads vs FB Monetization. The delta doesn't seem a lot right now but is with Meta stock appreciation. Is it possible to target 650-700k?
Why would you take Amazon for a 20k raise? No way
How do you get L7 being L5. Did they ask about current level? Did you lie or evade?
2 level jump makes it worth even though comp increase doesn’t justify. I would take it as it will be a career boost . It will certainly open up leadership roles elsewhere .
it’s 1 level increase
Sure if you do naive level comparisons Bw the two companies it’s 1 level jump. In terms of scope it’s 2. L7 level at amazon means you work at director level problems. E5 at Meta is at a project level and that’s not even at line manager level scope. This is true atleast for SDE.
Amazon L7 PMT band goes all the way upto 700K… so there is room here to negotiate and push Besides the compensation, Amazon L7 is a huge scope increase versus Meta. If you are hungry for growth, just the level upgrade would be good enough to move. But be advised, Amazon is going to be way more stressful than Meta
Could I get 700 in NY ? Way more stressful than Meta ? I have heard that, but can't imagine that while going through PSC here.
Would they give an l5 700?
Amazon dude scope will be amazing
Plzz don't go to Amazon. I learnt it the hard way... If you got that 2-level jump without really asking for it, most probably they are hiring you only to fire you later... Amazon has an increasing focus on putting people on PIP. Most managers do not like it but have to do it. They end up hiring people only to fire them...
Damn should have become a PM
Unless I'm replacing jassy, id never choose Amazon over meta
