Facebook/Meta E5 to E6 promotion - Timeline, effort
YOE: 9
I am currently evaluating an E5 offer in terms of barrier towards an eventual E6 position and into management thereafter. In my opinion, facebook provides comparatively better opportunities to get into E6/Staff position when compared to other tech companies of it's stature/prestige.
WLB wise: I am willing to put in 40-45 per week. Anything more would be extremely difficult for my current situation.
Facebook/Meta people can you kindly advise me on this? How many years does it take? What is the level of effort required? I have been told that it is extremely competitive at E5 level with lot of engineers fighting for a small piece of pie. How true is this? I am not planning to join any Ads related teams btw.
New TC: Max FB offer for E5 (422k + 100k sign-on)

it's about:
1. your manager and his/her needs and what he/she thinks about you. read "how well you kiss his/her a**".
2. see 1.
3. work you do or how you make yourself look better than others. read "self-pr and backstabbing".
