I have been an L6 SDE for about 4 years. Manager wants to target promo for the Q1 cycle in 2024. However I'm not willing to wait that long and I find my Manager's reasoning inadequate. He states a minimum 58 months tenure is preferred for sure shot promo. I suspect he is going to leave soon so he is not much invested. What are the Odds of getting an interview call for Airbnb Staff Engineer position? Will any competing offers help? TC: 430K/Seattle

Is that your monthly pay? I thought Albertsons paid the best in industry on par with hedge funds? Or you are non Tech?
It is possible. Either Amazon L7 or tenured L6 have a decent shot at Airbnb G10. Your resume will be evaluated for scope. So make sure you present accordingly. Given you are already discussing your promo, I assume you have been delivering projects with cross team impacts. If not then chances are less that you'll be considered for G10. And your performance in the interview counts the most. I was down leveled to G9 in early 2022. But then I had under 2 years as Amazon L6 and my scope was kinda limited too. I passed on the offer even though pay was more (D&S closed the gap a bit). Will likely interview again in Q3.
You must be kicking yourself mate. I jumped ship and couldnโt have been happier. Was l5 at Amazon and now G9 here.
