Another tactic that Amazon recruiters use a lot to convince you to take a shitty role:

"You are coming in at level X, but this role is actually scoped at level X+1."

In reality, it means nothing and you can get promoted in lots of different ways. It is just a trick that unethical recruiters and managers play.

That statement implies, in no uncertain terms, that the expectation is more work for less pay. It's a flowery way of telling the candidate they're getting a bad deal. If you the scope is X+1, and you pay me X+1, we have no issue.
