My fellow Amazonians, I got exceeds in Forte. Before anyone comments I can be HV and Forte rating is not my true rating, I want to acknowledge that I am aware of that. However, manager said he wants to propose me for promotion to L5.
My story -
My manager recently left so I am directly reporting to my skip (L7). So, basically L7 is my current manager.
1. Who approves promotion in this case?
2. What are the chances that if I go too soon for L5, my promo will be declined? People say L4 to L5 is no big deal but is that really true?
3. If promo is declined, I can retry after how many months?
TC - 235K (stock appreciation, high CoL)

2. People get declined, it’s part of the game and don’t fear failure here. You will get actionable feedback that will make it very easy to demonstrate improvement when you retry.
3. Technically you could go up immediately, but no manager would waste their time with this; min would be a quarter later which would give enough time to show iteration/improvement on gaps highlighted during first attempt.
