I’m an L6 SDM at Amazon but a Meta recruiter sent me an M2 sdm job description. I have all the XP I need from previous job experience but does Meta keep your same level as Amazon? Meaning if I am an L6 at Amazon am I automatically interviewing at M1 or can I jump to an M2?Amazon Facebook (Meta)

What year are you? What is unrealistic about the postings?
A lot of people got experience in law school during internships or right out of law school at firms, so you’re competing with people who started out with a target background. I clerked in my state’s Tax Court and then went into a corporate (but specialized regulatory and transactional) role. So you’re competing with people with direct experience.
Those aren’t entry level roles, that’s why. They’re not meant for you. You need to network and cold contact firms/lawyers to see if they’re taking juniors. This should’ve been done during your clerkship - I had two offers for post-clerkship by December of my clerkship term right after being admitted to the bar.
