Joining FB as E4 with 5 yoe.

What’s the likelihood I’ll get promoted after year 1?

I’ve heard others getting promoted 6 months after joining, but surely that’s not typical

TC 160

  • It doesnt work that way. It depends on your skills, ramp up time and ability to demonstrate you are awesome.

    No one will care about your yoe.
    You can get promoted within 6 months to years

      Here we go again with the “be awesome and get promoted” brainwash spiel.

      gekD54 has no idea what is meant by “awesome”.

      Be “awesome” and get a promotion.? Like how, like in the legos movie?

      Everything is awesoooooome.

    • EMV - haha - you are a sad troll, ah?
      Repeating your negative comments (without knowing much) in all the threads.

      I've been in the room when these decisions were made more than once. It is not a generic "be awesome" - there are clear career expectations for each level and, if your manager does their job - you get the right guidance for what you need to accomplish and get promoted shortly after meeting the bar (a half).

      3, 4 and 5 expectations are straightforward- what needs to be done is pretty clear and the system is designed to help you get there

      6+ - that's the tricky part and many people wont make it. A strong manager is super helpful here.

      I ended the interview half way through. Right when I learned that developers “own” the product but other people own the timeline. No leadership!

    • Oh that’s right, but you turned down their offer. You are so insecure, it is hilarious

    1.5 yrs if you are solid. 1 year if you got down leveled. Average is 2-2.5 years.

    After 3 years if you cant get to E5, you will be fired ;)
