Two of my close friends who slack at amazon got promoted. One is L4 to L5 and other L5 to L6. They both admitted it is matter of connections and over communicate to teams and be in good books. They are both in PM org though. We are all partying now. go amazon!!
PMs always do nothing and blab, that’s the job
Pms promo is always easy
So switch to PMs, slack, grow in levels and make money…seems to good to be true
PMs not paid same at SDE at Amazon. Probably like a level below at best, even doubt that’d be close
Newsflash: Human beings have feelings and emotions that influence their opinions of other people’s competence. The perception of your work is always the most important thing.

This 100%. The biggest misconception in corporate America is that your performance will get you promoted.
Amazon promotion got super easy during the pandemic when they promoted lots of L6 to L7. So yes overall the bar has been pulled down..
Performance != Promotion Impact != Promotion Visibility of work -> Promotion Perception of work -> Promotion Likeability -> Promotion Reliability -> Promotion If you work on likeability + visibility of your work and market your work well (perception). No one can stop you from getting a promo
Mailchimp just leveled up to mailgorilla
Like ability is very underrated
? PMs job is communication. They sometimes write specs. They do like to review them though. So over communication is them doing good on one aspect of their job.
Pm is paid good?
Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾
