What does a typical career progression look like for someone starting in Product Management at Facebook as an IC6? I am curious with respect to years at level, scope of responsibility, and... just because its Blind, TC of course. What team(s) would be good for accelerated career progression if I were ambitious and my family was supportive of a slightly workaholic pace?
At Facebook everyone i have worked at is ambitious and works really hard, otherwise they wouldn’t have gotten there. So you won’t stand out simply for that. It is definitely not a company to coast on. Promos for senior ICs are not uncommon, but they are also not a given. To get a promo, you need to perform at the top 10% of your group. Anyone above IC5 is seen as senior and able to take on major projects. The higher you move, the higher the expectations will be. To move from IC6-7 will likely take time and great performance from you.
“...just because its Blind, TC of course. “ I think you misunderstood how TC works on Blind.
