> you'll get automatically promoted at the end of the next quarter
Unless it's in writing, you should never, ever, ever take a statement like this at face value.
- nunez 5y ago100% agree. "You'll have a direct path to promotion in _x_ time" is a common sales tactic recruiters use.
- 0zymandias 5y agoAnother tactic that Amazon recruiters use a lot to convince you to take a shitty role: "You are coming in at level X, but this role is actually scoped at level X+1." In reality, it means nothing and you can get promoted in lots of different ways. It is just a trick that unethical recruiters and managers play.
- JMTQp8lwXL 5y agoThat statement implies, in no uncertain terms, that the expectation is more work for less pay. It's a flowery way of telling the candidate they're getting a bad deal. If you the scope is X+1, and you pay me X+1, we have no issue.
