Thanks for sharing. It's great I can see the salaries. I have an interview coming in in 4 weeks, not sure about the level but based on the above and the JD looks like it will be for an L4.
This isn't Reddit; please don't post such things here in response to a genuine question. I see you've posted a lot of question threads here yourself, so please understand and be helpful.
Expectations aren't that dissimilar from other FAANG for comparable levels; though from what I've heard it's arguable harder to get through (promoted) the levels than other places:
- L3: Be able to do pre-assigned tasks yourself well. Minimal hand-holding.
- L4: Be fully self-sufficient, and lead small projects on your own.
- L5: Have team-level and/or some org level technical leadership. Find and lead large impact projects yourself. Potential TL.
- L6: Have consistent org level impact that can affect many teams. Be able to set long term technical vision.
