What level is S&O Manager vs. Lead? Which one has direct reports? I have 8 YOE so trying to see which role would fit more.

L6 external hires are an IC usually. You will need to “prove” yourself to become an L6 People Manager. Agree with the above comment, 8YOE is not going to cut it for L6. Not in today’s environment.

That said, there are “Manager” titles being thrown around for L5’s too. I’m an L6 IC, and having been a B4 Manager, absolutely do not want to be a PM at Big Tech.

Wow ok. These titles are so confusing. Thanks!!

L6 is usually manager, but 8YOE is a bit light for L6

S&O Managers are between L4 / L5. The “manager” title means nothing in S&O. Honestly, you need to ask your recruiter cause I’ve seen “Lead” titles at the L5 level and “Senior Analyst” titles at the L5 level, depending on teams

I thought L5 is manager lol L6 now?

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house. They told me to focus on contract management, which I have been doing for the past year. Now that I have, are there any sites besides “jobscan” that I can use to make sure my resume fits the job descriptions? Does anybody know any recruiters that could help me, as well?

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
