About to join Uber as Sr Manager (level 4) and they processes a Level 5 in less than 1 year as I have over 7 years experience. How true is that and what do I need for this promotion to happen? Also what could be the salary increase? #Uber
Don't trust open ended promises. Try to level up before you join if you really want it
Not possible at the moment they say there is no open roles. Is it possible a promotion under a year?
I'm not in Ops so I can't comment on your case but yeah it's possible
Unless you're a super star is really unlikely. Recruiters tend to lie everywhere tbh
Can i freely apply to a higher role or do I need to be offered for promotion by my manager?
L4 is Sr Manager? Am I missing something?
ops role I’d guess
The recruiter is trying to close you in ASAP. Also something’s off with the levels you mentioned, is it non tech?
+1 to promotion promise.. get them in writing… happened to me at apple.. don’t believe it or better yet ask recruiter to setup one more meeting with manager.. and see what he has to says… if he mention we will see based on your perf etc then you know the answer.
In uber you need atleast 1 year before you are promoted, for any level. Also they will not simply prome but ask for impact, it might be difficult to show impact in 1 year. At the end it will be based on performance and not promise.
Happened to me but it wasn’t a promotion per se, they simply opened up the position and I went through the interview process again with 6 ppl since I was less than 1 yr in. I didn’t get the equity that I would have received had I just started at L5. I would take the advice from others above and try to level up before joining.
This sounds sus to me but I don't know anything about Uber or the dynamics of senior management
