Sorry, yes to clarify a little more: I'm a software engineer at LinkedIn and this is my first job out of undergrad. I've been here about 2.5 years now, so curious on how long normal promotion schedules are and if I'm a little "behind" in comparison

At three years. Then I’d be concerned. Very.

Not sure about LinkedIn, but if it follows Microsoft, a good pace is once per year, more common every 2 years.

1 promotion a year?! At that rate you’d be a principal engineer by 27 lol

I need some advice from advisors who have brought other “Junior” Advisors on. What is a fair split? Currently I have passed on my smaller clients to them, as well as providing consistent leads for them to call and meet with. The individual is working to build their own book of business, but up to now doesn’t have much production. They have only been in the business for about 2 years. I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone what seems to be working for me to almost land jobs is opting for in person interviews when possible (helps build connection) and harder for them to easily reject you.

Anyone have thoughts on a MDM on your personal phone? I want to be able to check my email/slack on my phone but I don’t want my company to also have all this access to my personal device. Can anyone give insight if I’m overthinking this or if it’s a definite “No”.

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
