Which is a very sensible plan to have. My biggest mistake was to not have an exit strategy I followed from day one. But than LVL 5, or 4, at Amazon isn't that bad. You have probably more responsibility than a LVL-6 equivalent at any other non-FAANG corp.

Heh, the guy who referred me even let me in on that common exit plan ;)

I agree with you on Amazon not being so bad. I had a lot of autonomy and was asked to both be an engineer and build technical solutions and own processes end-to-end (which included some project management.) It was a great experience!

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it neither! Just not for long term, unless you are one of the few exceptions.

Nice guy that referred you! Not everyone is that open, usually people learn it the hard way.
