How is the career growth at Lyft?

I'm a E5 at FB and got a T5 offer at Lyft. I'm wondering how is the career growth / promotion trajectory at Lyft? I think I can reasonably reach E6 at Facebook within 2 years but I'm wondering if that's also feasible at Lyft. Current TC: 380 Lyft TC: 470

Lyft sold their self driving efforts.

Wow. E5 at 4 and E6 at 6. Awesome..

with 4 yoe it is going to be hard joining and getting the needed knowledge to get promoted quickly.

For an in house T5 who's already ramped up, whats a reasonable but aggressive timeline for them to reach T6?

I’d say 1 year for you to grab at least a single SE before the promo

If you think you can get to 6 within 2 years, stick around and do that. It will be almost impossible if you change companies and everyone assumes you are a junior 5 because of your age. If you get 6 at FB, you will be almost guaranteed 6 at every other company if you pass their interview. 6 at Lyft within 2 years will be very difficult and most companies will probably downlevel you back to 5 when you leave anyways.

Is 6 in 2 years hard at Lyft hard because there's not enough scope to grow T5s into T6 engineers fast enough? Also interesting a T6 at Lyft would be down leveled else where. Isnt Lyft engineering considered on par with other Faang companies?

We have some “jr T6s”, that’s maybe what uspsss meant

If you can reach 6 in 2 at a Facebook you shouldn’t have trouble with a similar timeline at Lyft

Doable

5 —> 6 at Lyft is almost impossible for 4 YOE.

Bull shit. Depends on your skill set than yoe

What’s the breakdown of your lyft offer?

Facebook HUOu80 OP Jul 19, 2021

Salary 210k Rsu 260k

260 / yr? Guaranteed?

Thats alrd T6 offer. Chance of good upside is low. Even if you get promoted to T6, 1 year vest will keep you at close to 500k anyway.

Facebook HUOu80 OP Aug 8, 2021

I'm assuming the increase in salary and stock vest at E6 is not that substantial for internal promos
