I have no idea how things work at executive levels. At lower levels, being promoted from L(n) to L(n+1) in two years is an unusual and difficult achievement, typically it takes longer; and going from L(n) to L(n+2) in two years is something out of fantasy.
- throwaway5012 3y agoGoogler here, I agree. L(n) to L(n+2) in two years is pure astronomical outlier. L(n) to L(n+1) is very difficult and can take many years. I've been stuck as a L5 workerbee for five years with no navigable path to L6. It's extremely tough and gets tougher the higher you get. Not to dox the Google exec here (you can search her LinkedIn): But, to be fair, she seems to have an extraordinary career history. Went from presumably an entry level position at UBS to the executive class in just 12 years. Does that kind of disposition allow someone to bypass the "level gatekeeping" at Google? Maybe, maybe not. I wish I had whatever wizardry she's using.
