Interviewed for an L6 Sr. Program Manager Position at Amazon ($175TC) and didnt get it. I was asked if I would be interested in an L5 Program Manager role ($130TC). Im not sure if I should take it, or hold out for something better.....I’m currently a consultant at a boutique firm making $100k TC. I have 5YOE and a masters. It would be nice to make an exit from consulting, but I don’t want to settle if I can find better.

That’s pretty low. L5 TC mine for first year was around 165k and would be higher the next three years naturally, but I had parallel offers from FB and other tech companies in play so they gave me leverage. With 5YOE they can sniff out from experience whether you’d be fit for the L6 role or not which is purely management and people under you, so I’d treat carefully there to ensure you are ready to deliver at that level. Amazon doesn’t bs around so if you don’t perform at l6 level what’s the point of taking the role. I think you should negotiate hard on the L5. Bring it up to 140-150 and take it. Amazon is very flexible in terms of moving between teams, so you’ll have a lot of openings. So this if you are feeling stuck in consulting.

I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?
