Have an interview with Amazon for a Principal role. Can anyone share more insight from their experience?
- what to expect in the interview process?
- comp expectations (base / bonuses)?
- where does ‘Principal’ rank on the Amazon level scale and how do you compare that to consulting titles/pay?

Just went through an L7 non-tech loop. Interview process was intense. Focused entirely on 14 Leadership principles and in-depth questions on past experience. The recruiter will set you up in terms of expectations and process. My loop was spread across 3 days to accommodate availability. In hindsight that was the best thing to have happened given the intensity of the interviews. Gave me a bit of a breather and I was grateful for that.

From my understanding L7 is said to map to Senior Director-MD levels in consulting

What's your YOE, and what area/type is the role? I believe the title Principal varies from area to area e.g. Principal software engineer would be a different classification versus a principal product manager

16 YOE, non-tech role

@pwc was it a non tech role and what is the salary range? I have one next week and they have low balled me on total comp I feel given it’s in VA

No it’s based out of VA

OP, any updates to share ?

The group is great if you want to do consulting work with better pay and lifestyle (to an extent) not the best group if you want to move to product in the short term
