Accepted an L3 offer that is significantly better than my current tc, though I’m at 5 yoe. Another issue is that the offer is for the bay while my family is based in NYC.

1. Is it possible to do L3 to L4 in 1 year?
2. Is it easy to transfer internally to NYC as L3/L4?
3. If I transferred to NYC as L3 after a year, would it be possible to get promoted to L4 after 6 months at the new team? Or does transferring fully reset the promotion schedule?

Thanks!

    Hey I have similar situation. In short unless your project is launching in 1 yr it is Impssoble . I went up for promo in 1 yr. They gave me CME because of quota and they said it was too soon

      Okay perhaps I'm confused. From your original message, I understood that you applied for promo but got CME due to quota. That's extremely unlikely. Promo means you are performing at SEE/S level. If promo is denied due to quota, you will still get that rating. You won't get a CME.

      If you get a lower rating due to quota, it'll happen at calibration level. Not SVP level.

      Manager and I went for promo because of downleveling when hired. Yes was expecting EE/SEE but got CME. Likely calibrated down to CME.

    1. Highly unlikely. For promo your tenure is a joke, you are evaluated with everyone at your level so need good launches, sustained performance etc.
    2. Should be easy if you find a team but will be easier before joining, just push your recruiter.
    3. This is tricky, you need a good project in new team to show impact. 6 months are unlikely for that because if team is different you will be like a noogler learning there.

    Btw what’s the TC?

      Thanks! Btw regarding the 18 months thing, isnt it 1 year now?

      What about transferring after 6 months only. Can this backfire since it require manager approval? Or is it in general they would approve anyway assuming CME?

    NYC is a large office, why can't you team match there?
