Median promotion speed at Google and Facebook

From what I heard, in term of median promotion timeline e3 -> e4 at Facebook takes 1-1.5y and e4 -> e5 is like 2y. While l3 -> l4 and l4 -> l5 take 1.5-2y and 2.5y respectively at Google. Are the above numbers correct?

Nope. Plenty of E4s gets fired at FB. At G, L4 is terminal

I was told that even though L4 is terminal at G, a lot of people can still get to L5 and the median it takes is 2.5 to 3 years.

Plenty of posts in FB and Tech lounge of FB SWEs in PIP. Nothing to brag about after getting fired. Here are some PIP thread: [Blind] In danger of PIP... What next?

I got news for you I don't know anyone who got to L5 in less than ~10Y experience. There is almost nobody under 35 at L5. It's a big step up from L4.

That's not true. I know plenty of people at L5 and less than 10yoe
