I just passed the Hiring Committee review. Recruiter had said I got “Great Feedback :)” in the interviews and that they want to move forward with team matching. I had interviewed for L4 but the recruiter said I’m being leveled as L3.
I’m up for a promotion to L4 this half. But the problem is that post crash my stock comp is down ~40% and $FB doesn’t seem to be going up anytime soon.
Should I ask for another interview for being considered as L4 (is this even a possibility)?
TC: 167k post crash
YOE: 10 months (1 year in July)

When an interviewer provides feedback, they are specifically asked if they would recommend you at X level.
They can optionally suggest a different level as well.
Also 3-4 technical interviews (without system design) is also standard in many L3 pipelines.
You need a PhD to get in at L4.
I’m not a genius but I’m certainly not someone who’s just doing isolated tasks being handed by someone else either.
Maybe if you actually valued yourself you’d see. Too bad you’re just here making snarky comments and not adding anything to the conversation.
