Entry level close to promo. But not sure if it will go through. I am already sick here and don't enjoy anything. I want to make a switch. 1.5 years here. Is it wise to switch or keep grinding till promo which maybe 4 to 6 more months and then try a better team internally? I already feel I'm underpaid at this point and should be at the next level. Can I get a good offer at the next level? What places should I try? I don't have too many shiny projects but am willing to grind leet and sys design. Yoe 3.5 TC 150k
I would wait tbh. Give yourself a deadline and set that expectation with your manager, that you want to be promoted in 6 months and ask what you can do to help your manager help you achieve that goal. Then if after 6 months the promo doesn’t go through, you can decide at that time if you should leave or not. In the meantime just keep leet coding so you can start interviewing ASAP the promo doesn’t work out.
Don't chase promos man! Leave if you're getting an offer.. YOLO
You can start LC right now while still working there
Can I ask why you don't like amazon? Seems common that people leave Amazon under 2 years and really dislike it.
Might as well start prepping now. E4 FB, L4 G pay 250+, and with just under 4 YOE it shouldn't be too hard to get that if you do well in interviews. You're unlikely to get that much even with a promotion at Amazon, and their whole TCT model is garbage designed to screw you.
TC? And what level?
Added.
Wait, what’s your job family. Also I’m assuming L4 since you said entry?
