How much time should you wait before you can ask for a promotion in GE Digital? And how should you ask it? Any clues/tips?
Turns out timing and luck matter more than skillz Down leveled but still joined Meta as E4 with 4.5 YOE because stock was low.

I work at a company that still has the Jack Welch GE annual focal system Exceeds/successful/below expectations. Annual and mid year reviews.

TC: 350k after falling off a cliff YoE: 9 My manager submitted a promotion packet from IC5 to IC6 but I didn’t get the promo (despite EE rating and GE previous half). Now I have an offer from LNKD at senior staff level, but I’d rather stay at Meta. Any hope I could leverage a written offer to get m...Read more
Been FB for 2.5 years as a DS IC5. Performance is just OK, MA or EE, but never GE. Cannot think of potential promotion for IC6 or M0/M1 at this point. Don't think I can ever do for that. Feel tired and exhausted. Just wonder for those ex-FB DS, what's next? Should I wait for 4 years? YOE - ~8y. TC:...Read more

I'm a covid hire. Probably I was able to join Meta when they lowered the bar to over-hire. Before, I didn't believe there would be a layoff at Meta, and that didn't age well https://www.teamblind.com/post/Dont-believe-in-upcoming-Meta-layoff-uRSSHDxm But I was not 100% wrong though, it's just that...Read more
As I promised in a recent thread, I will write up my experience at FB and my view on impact. A little bit from myself. I was a SWE at FB, joined at E5, no competing offer, first job in big techs. I was unemployed when a FB recruiter reached out to me. I was shutting down my startup. My initial offe...Read more

This is a serious post… I’ve been in the company for 5 years. Starting as E3 and I’m now E5, I’ve experienced ups and downs with all above average ratings, and also bad manager screwing me up one or two times. I love coding and solving technical problems. I used to be curious about learning both t...Read more
