IBM base pay

What is the base pay for a band 8 software engineer at IBM (SVL) ? and what’s the average time span to get a promotion from band 7 to band 8. Current TC: 145k

145-155. Promos don’t happen often 6-7 years? On average. Some have done it sooner. Company is listing money and shrinking so promotions are drying yp

True. My management in Engineering said on average it takes 6 years for band 7 to band 8 for employees who perform well.

SVL - Base pay for band 8 starts at 152k. If you're making 145k as a band 7 you're literally at the end of the range as a SWE. Usually on the swe track it varies anywhere from 2yrs - 5yrs. But frankly it depends on your upper mgmt. What org are you in?
