i have pretty solid tech depth and track records of high impact delieverables. perf has always been top. current level is uber 5a, hired as 5a. scope is already uber 5b according to perf, but am waiting for a promo. i delivered 2 big projects with influnce on multiple teams, ~10 engineers. the issue is that i had years of acdemic experience during my phd so not so many “industry” experience. i am very afraid facebook or other big companies hr will not be willing to arrange an L6 interview. what is the yoe requirement? thoretically, and in real world? TC:420
Tell recruiter your current TC and that you need to match that and push and they will probably set you up with L6 loop.
Thanks that’s what I am planning to do. Otherwise it’s better I will just stay.
What's your yoe?
6. I know people got to L6 at google in 6 years, but I understand internal promo is always easier to get a higher level
You talking about technical depth and perf clearly tells me you aren’t ready for L6 yet. Also, good luck getting L6 with 6 yoe.
Stay at Uber. 5a matches to L5. Even 5b matches to L5. Your TC also matches to L5.
You work at "Axon" but you know everything. I am surprised.
I used to
I believe you mean E6 since that is swe ladder. I have seen people get to E6 at fb after 4 years in fb. Outside hires will probably need at least 5 yoe and on average closer to 10 yoe to be considered for E6.
I know people with 7 yoe getting E6 at fb, so with 6yoe seems doable.
OP here. Some update from me. I got promoted to L5b last cycle. Got decent TC increase from big refresh/increase and stock "appreciation" (finally back to $50 LOL). New TC is well at G L7. So cannot complain about it. I will see if I can get some interesting stuff to do in H2 in the next few months before I start looking for new opportunities.
