lapplied for few SA roles at AWS
after getting the SAA certificate and
some badges like the "WAF" and
"Advanced Migration". I also
optimized my resume recently trying
to match what AWS would look for,
but I did not get any 1st call or
Screening interview!
Ialso applied to some of the roles
using friend's referral. I have more
than 15 years in IT infrastructure
mainly in Storage systems (EMC,
Hitachi) What could be the problem?
Thanks.

I would keep trying. Eventually, there will have to be a role that they think you're a good fit for. I know someone who had to apply something like 20 times before finally getting an offer and then they got two.

Hmm that's really frustrating - I feel like a lot of those roles are more dependent on referrals than anything else. I would definitely keep applying - it doesn't usually happen on the first shot!

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
