#2> Let's start with the reality check: I hit the timing jackpot. Right org, explosive growth phase, and a manager who saw something in me before I saw it myself. If you're looking for a pure meritocratic story, this isn't it. Nobody lands promotions this fast without the stars aligning.
Very much appreciate this being the second paragraph, made me immediately much less skeptical.
In general, I think these are excellent principles. I didn't really realize how important speed was, in particular, until I was in an organization that pathologically lacked it. It absolutely sucks the life out of anyone who wants to do more than the bare minimum.

I was at meta. What do you mean? It’s how we used to define staff in our cross company leveling docs.

#7Same stuff in amazon, if you're lucky to get into new project, even if it's designed like shit (in my case), people got nice promos. As soon as it was delivered team left with new titles and now new team which alomst doesn't grow. 1 promo in 4 years.
