Anyone L7+ at Amazon willing to spend some time (dm, call, email?) with me to help determine if/where I should target a role in Amazon? I'm a senior manager with 10+ years at Accenture in management consulting, not too recently moved to Seattle (about 3 years ago), and I'm nearing promotion here to the next level but having second thoughts. I want to be part of a company that actually builds things. In any case, I'd likely be targeting an L7 role given my experience and expectations. Thanks!

Targeting a level to start off with isn’t the right approach imo. Some teams have L6s move into L7s after 2 years post MBA and some teams have L6s who have over 15yoe on average. I’d recommend looking into the types of roles and functions or teams you’d see yourself in as a starting point

You’re looking for a career coach essentially?

Just a single discussion about Amazon, not a full on coach.

L6 is a better fit for your YOE

Well said, good luck!

Curious, what are your expectations? Might help the community more in the future

See above. Thanks for the pointer and perspective.
