I'm joining Amazon as SDE 1 after already working for almost 1 year. I've heard it normally takes SDE 1s about 2 - 3 years to promote to SDE 2. Does that generally only include 2 - 3 years at Amazon as SDE 1, or also the work experience outside of Amazon. So, as I already have almost 1 year work experience, can I expect to be promoted in 1 - 2 years instead of 2 - 3 years? Of course, assuming I work just as well as SDE 1s in Amazon and I'm progressing at the expected pace in Amazon. #amazon #promotion
There were new college grads in my team who got promoted in <1 year. If you work hard and raise the bar (assuming all things work out), you can easily do it under 2 years.
You should worry about PIP based on the current trend and you are talking about promotion !!!!!
1.5-2 years. 3 years to L5 is uncommon. Probably means you didn’t do well.
Depends on your team but 1yoe has little effect
