The way I would look at it is that your playing field is what you can control and what employers are willing to accept.

From the employer's perspective they may be desperate for talent or be the most desired place to work in their industry. They might pay top dollar or subpar. They might offer roles that have a high confidence of promotion to your desired role, or they might offer you the role you want without experience.

You on the other hand can work on personal projects or training to build up your technical toolkit. You can network and interview to get more visibility into what employers are willing to accept. You get to decide on whether the pay, specific role, company profile, future prospects, etc. are worth compromising on. (Analogous to the employer's desperation factor.)

Bottom line, choose the path you're more interested in and pursue any opportunity there. As the market is hot, I would not worry about being under qualified if you are also okay compromising on the other factors above.

If you can leetcode you can get a SWE job (l3/l4), it’s that simple and the offers these days are north of 300k for l4. Imo it’s easier Bc it’s so cut and dry.

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
