may be. What i saw was a 10 years cap, and otherwise the next level on the menu was SDE 5 (i.e. principal, expected to have publications, etc., and only rare individuals can make SDE5 coming from outside as i gathered from googling) which i can only wish you great luck passing the interview for. Note: it was a real unambiguous cap, explicitly stressed as the strict cap 2 times, not that typical "we're looking for 5-10 years experience", and it was made clear that for exceeding the cap - either apply for SDE5 or don't bother to apply at all.
- hinoki 5y agoMaybe they were talking about an experience cap for hiring at a given (low) level? Which is also stupid, but since many companies (I have no experience with Amazon, but I do know Microsoft and Facebook will) “manage you out” if you don’t get promotions at a minimum rate, makes some kind of sense. BTW, SDE 5 isn’t an Amazon level. There is L5, which corresponds to SDE II, which is only one promotion from college hire. And there is Principal, which is L7. https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Google&track=Software%20Engineer https://www.levels.fyi/?compare=Amazon,Google&track=Software...
