I’m at Dropbox now and just got promoted to Senior Eng but am starting at Meta E5 come April and I was just curious if anyone had any tips towards how best to set my self up for success. Wanting to make impact and also set myself up success for promo to E6 or to transitioning to M0 and managing a small team.

Old/Current TC: 375k
New Tc: 475

    First learn to survive. After a year you’ll figure out by yourself.

    You probably will be fully ramped up by December if starting in April. By fully I mean would have delivered impact.

    By then you would have also realized a lot of people around are E5 and some in line to get E6.

    Then you would figure your path and time line working with your manager.

    Some stars need to align, along with great continued ratings to get to E6.
