Promotion Duration and Yearly Increment

How many years does it take to get promoted to senior software engineer if you’re joining as a new grad at Linkedin ? How much increment can you expect per year on an average ?

LinkedIn promos to senior are very fast iirc, so maybe 4-5 years? Increments depend on your initial package. Mind sharing?

Depends very heavily on the team. Some teams it’s 1 - 2 years, others its 4-5 years. Some Seniors are clearly staffs on other teams, some swe are clearly senior on other teams. It’s not very uniform.

What? 1-2 years? So two promotions in 2 years?

Oh never mind, just checked levels.fyi. I didn't know senior was just E4.

Any idea on year to year increment? I have been told its 5 % by friends, but that sounds a little low..

5% sounds low? How much have you been getting?

EY gatJ74 Dec 3, 2017

I am moving in from Consulting and I typical have been getting 10% at a minimum for the past 3 years..
