    E6 grows to E7 and M1 to M2. It’s a different path. E6 to M1 isn’t crazy difficult, and would take about 1 year after you’ve been on a team for a year, and can start the process, so 2 after joining. If you have prior M experience it could be faster. WLB is similar but different. E6 is going to be stressed in May, June, November, December, but pretty chill the rest of the year. M1 is going to be absolutely slammed January February and July, but chill the rest of the year. This is due to internal structure about when their responsibilities come due.

    Career growth for both is solid in terms of making the next level, but if you think 2 more levels are in the cards for you, odds are better for the M1 than the E6. The pyramid narrows quite sharply for both, but more so for the E ladder, due to there being less business need for large numbers of high level ICs. There’s difficulty finding the right scope to make E8 or E9.

    That being said, the best advice here is probably to follow your passion. I know great E8s who would never have made D1, and D1s who couldn’t hack it at E8, so picking the ladder you’re more suited for will take you further.

    Good luck!

      There’s no year long program. It’s between you and your manager to work out how you’ll develop the skills by developing into the flavor of E6 with heavy people axis contributions so that stepping over the line is not a big deal

    Also Note that M1 is people manager. We don’t have a lot of tech lead managers here
