Hi,

For those who work at Facebook, what is the promotion process like for E4 -> E5? At Amazon, it is a really long process, is this level mainly just approval from manager? do you need to write any promo doc?

    Piggy backing on OP’s post, how long on average do people get promoted from E4-5 at Facebook? I’m joining as E4 with 5 YOE, out of personal reasons really want to get E5 in 1-1.5 years, is it realistic?

      If you're hired as an E4, you have around three years max to promote or Facebook will let you go.
      .
      There's no timelines once you get to E5.

      The vast majority of E4s make that deadline, so it's not a grinder.

      E5 in 2-3 halves is realistic, 4 is very very common Focus on it but don't obsess. Fwiw, I've seen E3->E5 in 3 halves, albeit super rare.
