How are you assessing that it is or isn’t a level lower?

How different depends on Amazon org and where you are now, same with WLB.

Likely then you are coming in as a 6.

Went from B4 to AWS. We're busy, but definitely more chill than consulting. Can't speak for Amazon's consumer business.

What do your hours typically look like?

You'll come into Amazon at L6, which by no means is a downgrade. Senior Mck EMs, BCG PLs also join at that level. L6 is a very wide band, with TC from 200-350.
