Hi current/ previous RPMs!

How long does it take to get promoted to IC4? Does it take full 18 months of 3 rotations?

I am currently an IC4 at FB, who is mostly looking to get promoted to IC5. Thinking if I should apply for RPM.

    Are you not a PM right now? Get to 5 then just transfer to PM (might get down leveled back to 4)

    • Would it be better to do that, or leave for a lower tier PM and come back (for initial grant)

      If you can get external PM offers now, then go for it. Otherwise taking the downlevel can be a good way to break into the role (and then probably leave externally after a year or so).

      Usually easier to switch functions internally IMO.

  • Previous RPM here. Some folks get promoted after 2 halves, nearly everyone gets promoted after the program ends (3 halves). Haven’t heard of anyone getting promoted in 1 half though.

    • Yep, if you are optimizing for quick career progression it would make sense to promo to IC5 and then transfer internally. That said, there are other benefits to being an RPM
