How similar was your interview questions to the widely known prep resources? Leetcode, grokking, etc.
Very similar to leetcode questions
2 or 3 if you want to be rewarded for your work. But you will work hard and you will not be promoted quickly because of a nice manager. Go to 1 if you want an org that doesn't have its act together. You might be the worst eng and get promoted to 7 in 2 years. Or be fantastic and only get a meets all.
Chaos is actually better for promotion - if you are networking and stand out, managers will fight to have you. Consider a stagnant org where you keep the lights on and the management is complacent, why would anyone be promoted?

AR just went through a huge reorg - that org has a lot of chaos No 2 is the safer bet here
I would argue a reorg is actually good as a pawn? because you can re-position yourself and see momentum
This isn’t the first and this won’t be the last… it’s an ongoing chaos
