Yeah. You meet a neighbor and without even asking they say they are level 7 Amazon Engineer. And then they say the guy in the blue house is level 7 and kind of laugh at the guy in the yellow house that is only level 6.
My brother lived a neighborhood in Bothell that was all Eastern Indian Microsoft workers. He was able to sell when he moved back to Montana at an inflated price due to demographics of that street. Entire neighborhood smelled like curry when we’d visit from Portland for a Husky or Mariner game and the neighbors would bring over leftovers.
Buck, I had the pleasure of having lunch with an AGC at Amazon over the weekend and he indicated that the number one internal priority is to flatten the company by removing middle management bloat. You may want to dust off your resume
The one friend-of-a-friend that I've met and gone to a few games with who is a real developer manager at Amazon acts like he really went through hell as an actual engineer for years to get that position, and is in his mid 40's.

Doesn't sound very Christian to me.
It has a curry smell to it whatever it is.

Being a level 6 "program manager" means Buck is likely an individual contributor/dev with nobody under him.
He probably got put back in the office for a lack of productivity and now spends his office day looking over his shoulder while on his phone.
Levels!
we're
