- Lyft T6 to T8 promotion How long would it take to go from L6 to L8 at Lyft if you perform well?
- Engineers of Lyft. What does an average promotion timeline look like? How long do promotions take on average? What is the average tenure to go from L3 to L4 and say from 4 to 5. I read somewhere that growth is slow and takes upwards of 2 years. Is this correct?
- How is the career growth at Lyft? I'm a E5 at FB and got a T5 offer at Lyft. I'm wondering how is the career growth / promotion trajectory at Lyft? I think I can reasonably reach E6 at Facebook within 2 years but I'm wondering if that's also feasible at Lyft. Current TC: 380 Lyft TC: 470
- vote Lyft vs FB Which is better for career growth and compensation, specifically in early career? Also how fast does Lyft promote and how are refreshers? (I know fb promotes to e5 fast but what about Lyft). People voting, can you comment why? Also FB will be in NYC most likely.
- vote How long to go from senior to staff level? Hi Lyft folks, What is the average time needed to get promoted from senior to staff level at Lyft? Does the initial interview result matter? i.e. If interview leveling result says a person is leveled at high end senior but not yet staff, is this person still placed at the same starting point of pr
- Realistically, how much would an Uber engineer make at ipo Let's say someone joined 3 years back as a senior engineer, got promoted to staff. Applies to Lyft, Pinterest etc at well.

- Amazon SDE2 to equivalent outside engineering positions If getting promoted to SDE2 in Amazon soon, is it hard to move to LinkedIn/Lyft/Google/FB/tier1 companies without getting downleveled? Currently with only 1.5 yoe and considering a switch after promotion happens.
- vote Need to decide if I want to join Lyft by tomorrow. What would you do? I'm a SWE at amazon. Have a Lyft offer in Seattle. Any insight on Lyft would be great. A little apprehensive about covid situation. TC would go from 195k to 280k (123k -> 165k base, rest stock). I will get promoted at Amazon in Sept/Oct. Base will go to 165k as well then. (2.5 yoe) No visa issu
- E5 fb vs t6 lyft Which one will be your choice 1. Fb about 15 min drive, lyft 1.5 hours commute each direction 2. Lyft. T6 staff/tech lead. Fb only considerong e5. I am not sure how soon one can get promoted to e6 there. 3. Compensation still needing to work out
- vote Help evaluate offers from FB, Snap, Lyft Have offers from Snap, FB and Lyft in ML roles. SNAP is L4 and Lyft is T5 while FB is E4. Tried negotiating with FB for a higher level but they didn't budge. Really interested in FB because of their problem variety but the TC at Snap and Lyft is much higher. However, Snap and Lyft stocks are volatil
- How does leveling work at Lyft? Considering taking an offer from Lyft, recruiter said I'd be a T4. How many years of experience does a T4 have? How does leveling and promotion work?
- moving to lyft or staying at amazon? I received an offer from lyft as an SWE T5. I don’t think I can get much better TC for that level. I’m slightly concerned about the current status and the risks that lyft is facing at the moment. I’m not a big fan of the new comp structure that limits potential growth. Having said all that, the tea

- vote Facebook Meta E4 vs Lyft T4 I'm really confused about which one to pick between these offers Meta E4 (recruiter said this is the max offer for E4) TC: 375.25 (175 + 27.75 (annual bonus) + 104 (stock per year) + 70 (joining)) Lyft T4 (recruiter said this is top of the band) TC: 381.5 (181 + 140 (base stock) + 60.5 (joining: 5
- Heaven is where... The engineers come from Google. The product managers come from Amazon. The designers come from Apple. The infrastructure is built by AWS.

- Which companies are tier 1? No nonsense. No BS. This topic is to discuss the real tier 1 companies. For a company to be tier 1, it needs to be top tier in all the following: WLB, culture, TC and stability. For instance, Amazon and Snapchat are not tier 1 due to forced PIP and poor WLB (or so Blind claims) even if they have top
- Facebook E5 from G L5 ~3 YoE? Was promoted to L5 at G in 2.5 years. I'm trying to improve my TC and so looking at Facebook (Lyft, Airbnb, ...) for senior level positions. However I do notice there seems to be some YOE requirement for E5. Given that I'm L5 at G will FB and similar companies interview me at L5? I don't have a PhD
- Longest gap between offer and starting the job? Tldr; I don’t like my team and want to leave Lyft. I am interviewing and expect to hear back from a few companies by the end of January. I also think I’m getting promoted (effective April) and would like to leave with a promotion/title change. Any one have experience starting 2-3 months after recei
- FB E5 SWE to LYFT I’m a SWE @ FB expecting to get promoted to E5 this half but pretty unsatisfied with my team and FB culture overall. Other teams dont seem super exciting either and hence considering a move. I had an offer from Lyft 2 years ago for L4 with comp: 185k base, 500k equity (@39$ pre ipo), 75k joining bo

- Where to go after Facebook? I’m tired of walking on egg shells, and thinking I may get fired anytime. But everywhere else seems like a downgrade including Google that would downlevel me and take me a long time to get promoted. So I’m stuck. Hows Airbnb, Uber, Lyft etc and would it look bad careerwise if I go there from FB. YO
- Big dreams wee bucks !! Thought I would be a Engineering M2+ by 40 making out like a bandit at 800K/yr. Missed all the Faang upside last 3 yrs, kicking myself for not pursuing my Faang interviews seriously 3 Yrs ago, bought into too much hype of gig economy Lyft/Airbnb and autonomous.

- Interview now or wait for the market to get hot again I'm a Staff at LinkedIn promoted recently with a cliff fast approach this year. The promotion refresh was peanuts. The timing of my cliff and the covid situation is unfortunate. Should I stay and suffer the cliff waiting for opportunities to come back up? I'm in a dilemma right now. Companies I wan
- Facebook "high-E5 or E6" FB is bringing me on-site as a "high-E5 or E6" candidate. The recruiter is trying to sell that it's better to join high-E5 and get promoted quickly than join E6 and swim with the piranhas immediately. I'm currently a T6 at Lyft (we mimic FB leveling). What do you think?
- Waymo L5 to L6 Folks at waymo or Google, what is the general duration people spend at L5 before getting promoted to L6?

- How Lyft’s Missteps Killed its Chances of Overtaking Uber Article: I If there were ever a time when Lyft had a chance to catch up with Uber, it was last year. A constant barrage of negative publicity, including a #deleteUber social media movement, offered Lyft a gift in terms of picking up business. But while Lyft made some gains, it still finished the ye
- vote Need suggestion: Leave or stay Hi! It’s really frustrating these days looking at my stock account compared with my other friends in SNAP, FB and STRIPE. My manager told me I could get a promotion in the middle of 2021 to T5. Should I wait and fight for promotion or just leave the company. Edits: I like my team but not the enti
- vote Looking for another job. On PIP atm. Fight PIP while looking for another job or quit and do Uber/Lyft? The SaaS startup life is getting real. Anxiety is high. PIP is my life now. 30 days or GTFO. The guidelines for PIP are mostly all subjective except the part about hitting quota for the month. Ironically I’m on track for the year and they just offered me a promotion. Turned down the promotion becau
- best company for TC for analytics? which companies pay the most for data analysts? job title can be data scientist but at the end of the day its analytics. i heard Lyft is still paying like 250-300k starting even after layoffs, which sounds crazy i make 140k with 3 years of experience as a product analyst. it will take me two years
- Not getting promoted Most companies, Lyft, Google and Facebook to name a few, don’t require employees to get promoted beyond level 5. I used to think these folks languishing at this level were losers, but as I grew wiser, I realize that they’ve chosen to spend more time in life on other things. Quite frankly, now I’m th

For example, Meta seems to be "top tier" software TC according to most people but isn't even in the top 10 on levels, because AFAICT a lot of that is clouded by the fact they hire with fewe
- vote Facebook vs. Pinterest SWE - ML I don't want to post the offer breakdown because they're similar. Both in the 300 range for l4/e4. Pinterest is slightly higher, but with stock performance FB might win. This is for SWE - ML positions. I don't have any faang or big tech on my resume, and I want to optimize for career growth and
