What would a 3 YOE need to get uplevelled to E5 at meta? I know it's a stretch, but just thinking...

Is it even possible?

I went through the E4 loop recently. The coding and system design could not have gone better. Behavioral was good, but maybe average I guess. I spoke about owning several features end to end, showed that I advocate initiatives on the team and with product, handle disagreements well, and reflect on the past for learnings. There were instances where I thought my answers were okay but nothing impressive. If I had aced the behavioral, could I have been uplevelled?

    I’m an E5 with 3.5 YoE, so I have some understanding here. To gain signal, I would ask:

    For all the projects you owned, what was the largest scoped one? Did you lead any people in that project?

    • For my case, I am senior ML scientist and have no experience in system design, I owned lot of projects and lead people and projects. I am interviewing with meta for E5 role but I have zero knowledge on Sys let design ! So, even E4 I am not sure if I get it ! Of someone interview for E5 can get the E4 ?

    Your loop was intended for E4, E5 loop is structured differently

      Yes, but recruiter might not give it to you. They operate on hiring quotas so whatever gets you hired is good for them
