Could someone kindly explain Amazon 's positions hierarchy and what the Ls mean (L5, L4 and such). Mainly interested in IT positions and AWS.

Amazon as a whole:
L1 warehouse worker > L12 Bezos

For AWS: most opportunities start at L4 which is entry level. Think SDE 1, IT Analyst, Etc

L4 is associate level. Most University graduates start from L4 post their internship. L5 is someone with 3-7 years experience and L6 is a senior position. L7 is a principal and L8 a director. L10 would be a VP. There is no strict mapping of experience vs level. It depends on where and what kind of experience you bring in + how your interview goes. I have seen many being interviewed for L7 but then getting offered an L6 position. For example most Amazon SEs with 8 years of experience would get an L6 but I started at L6 with 12 years of external experience.

Great, now I know where I stand. Thanks.

For AWS, L2 is basically new off the street, L4 is 3-6 years experience, Etc

The question on level depends on role requirements, how well you’ve demonstrated ability to scale past your own work, not just your experience. I’ve seen people with that YOE in L5-L7 and it really boils down to your ability to demonstrate strategic thinking and leveraging Amazon LP’s

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
