I joined FB as an E5 with 11 yoe. One of my goals is to get to E6 in 2-3 years. I'm currently exploring a couple of teams in bootcamp -
1. First one looks exciting, potential for fast growth, but is more of a full stack role. I will be working on mostly Hack. Very little React or UI work based on what the manager tells me.

2. The second team is purely backend. Wlb seems worse. But the area doesn't look particularly exciting other than the fact it is pure backend.

My current experience is all backend.

I am leaning towards the first full stack team. Suppose I don't like the work and switch teams a year later, would it impact E6 promo timelines? That is, would it reset your progress to promotion if you change teams (similar to what happens at Msft)?

This is all assuming I perform well and have good reviews in both teams, of course.
