What's the highest level engineering title/level you can get that a "normal" (i.e. not some famous brand-name/top 1%-er people) engineer can expect to get there?
- throwaway928473 5y agoThere are no titles as individual engineers at Meta. Everyone is software engineer/production engineer/etc. There's an expectation to reach level 5 within a set timeframe (~3y) so we should expect a "normal" engineer to be capable of this. Level 6 isn't unattainable for someone with experience and enough smarts to know how to spend their time wisely (unless you're an absolute genius you will need to spend time improving others, doing interviews, etc). Level 7+ takes a lot of commitment, focus, and talent.
