I got an offer for an Engineering Manager M1 at Facebook and tend to accept it.
I was wondering how "difficult"/realistic it is to get to promoted at FB to a M2 position?
Or let me rephrase my question: Is there a reliable career path for an M1 to become a M2 (if performance and feedbacks are great) or are there too many aspects which can not be influenced by myself? (e.g. there must be a fitting open position for a M2 in your org). Thanks

      Right now an L7 who was hired externally or who has some tenure (i.e. not freshly promoted) is likely making between 600k and $1M. Some way over $1M. Not M1 comp.

      Isn't L4 new grad? So L7 would be 6-7 years assuming promos every 1.5-2.5 years. I have a hard time believing someone can reach M2 equivalent in 6-7 years on average.

  • Curious how long did it take for you to hear back after the on-site?
    Did they tell you why it was m1 and not m2 or were you expecting m1 from the start?

      Have you asked your recruiter for feedback? I am fine with M1, as for M2 it really needs a much larger scope/impact

    • Not yet but i will Monday or Tuesday. Didn’t want to bug them if they’re busy so I was trying to be patient.

    If TC is good, I don't see how you don't take the FB offer. Even if you never get promoted again.

      Sure TC is great but it is not about the money:) opportunity to grow is also very important (e.g. managing directs vs managers, shaping the future of a whole org etc)
