- Snap L3 -> L4 promo timeline Hey all, recently joined Snap as an L3 hire and was told I’m on the higher end of the L3 scope. Want to get promoted to L4 as quickly as possible for career growth and 💰. Is a 1-2 year timeline a realistic expectation for this type of promo? Also, what helps an engineer go from L3 to L4? new TC:
- vote Are Snap promos still slow after restructuring? Coming into snap as a ‘top end’ L4 (as said by HM and recruiter, 4yoe). People say it’s hard to promo to L5 but Snap recently reworked bands to make L5 consistent with FANG senior instead of high senior - low principal. Is it realistic to get promoted within a year or 1.5 years if I preform well? #s
- Snap L3 offer and promo to L4 timeline I have an offer from Snap for L3 level. I still don’t have the numbers, just got an email from the recruiter saying the offer was approved, but I’m expecting ~200k TC. I have a final round with Google in a week as well and the recruiter said since I have a Masters they’re targeting L4. I know googl

- Internal Team Transfer at Snap and Promo Difficulty I have a great L3 offer from Snap, but I'm not sure if the team is in an area I see myself working long-term. How hard would it be to internally transfer to another team after a year or two? I'd ideally like to work on an ML, product, or data infra team. Also, how difficult are L3->L4 and L4->
- Snap L3->L4 promo timeline MLE Was told expectations within a year for MLE to go from L3->L4, not sure how realistic that is given posts on blind seem to indicate promos take a long time. Have other mid-level offers but snap L4 would easily beat them if I could get there quick. #snap #snapchat #engineering
- How does promo work at Snap (L4 offer) ? Is there a time limit within which you have to get promoted from L4 (like fb)? I'm the only person on this board who doesn't want to get promoted, thus could not find the answer to this question. Would like to stay at L4 if I joined Snap. Please advise Snap people. Need to make a decision soon. Than

- vote Offer Eval Facebook vs Snap Trying to decide between an offer from Facebook (E4) and Snap (L4). One pays a bit more than the other (on paper at least), but I also care about career growth and stability. Base, Equity/Yr, Target Bonus, Sign on FB: (177k, 100k, 18k, 75k sign on) Snap: (185k, 183k, 18k, 10k sign on) FB vs Sna

- Why working hard at Snap? Just got a L4 offer from Snap. TC is pretty competitive around 360k but I worry about the WLB there. By looking at the details in the offer, I had a question. I could understand people work hard at FB for getting promo sooner or higher refresh. People work hard at Amazon because of the amazing PIP
