I am in Technology development @YOE - 4 Currently 1 year in AT&T
Yeah, here some people are in same position for more than decades. Preparing for FAANG.
On the flip side it is a very good place if you’re scared of “up or out”.
Heard in chat that above SMTS (L2) it goes from slow to dead stop. There’s ONE L3 (LMTS) working at his site and he’s 55+. As far as L4 or DMTS. I honestly believe it’s either only for poaching external talent or you have to work in NJ to get it. Which, for most people, would net them a loss despite the promotion, considering CoL and taxes that don’t die when you pay off your house.
AT&T is a dead end. Run AFAP. The company is secretly sending his employees to consulting firms like Accenture, Deloitte and PWC. Those companies let them go within a year. Why will anyone want to work at AT&T?
Very slowly, leave asap.
