I’m coming into google as an L3 with 1-2 years experience. What does it take to get promoted to the next level? How fast could I achieve this? How should I approach this subject with my manager?
For my team the normal for new grad L3s was 18 months, but could happen as soon as 10-12 months too. Don't have as much data for someone with experience
Around a year is reasonable for an industry hire. Make it clear to your manager you want to do it.
I am an industry hire and no any bad comments in my perf. But manager is still holding me even 2 yrs for me now :(
Surviving reorgs for three years and blood of the firstborn. If seriously median is 2-3 years. If you don’t launch something visible managers won’t bother with early promos.
