I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

How fast CAN they happen? In the perfect environment, very fast.
How fast is LIKELY to happen? Not too fast.
I’d say leading a successful project across a finish line or hitting a major benchmark is a great way to get noticed, but that usually takes time to happen in very short order.
Rising Star
You're right leading something across the finish line gets noticed. It's just hard to lead anything when you're deep in execution.

I’ve seen promotions have been incredibly fast with growing companies or startups or acquisitions. But I’ve also seen people keep the same job and receive no title increase for a decade, but they did get pay increase. It depends what you’re looking for.
Rising Star
That's the real split. Startups move fast. Big companies? You can do the same job for a decade with a nice pay bump and zero title change. Neither is wrong, it just depends on what you want.
Depends on how lucky you get with your manager, team, scope, project impact, visibility and promotion budgets
Rising Star
Luck is the variable no one puts on the promo doc. Right manager, right project, right budget timing. You can do everything right and still wait.

I think most people in this bowl are just interested in keeping a job much less worrying about promotions.
Rising Star
Honestly? that's fair. A lot of us are just trying to stay employed right now. Promotions feel like a luxury when layoffs are still fresh.
