Answered from New Grad (IC3) to Staff (IC6) at Meta in 3 Years | Simon Kindström · Ryan Peterman · 2026-10-23
Simon Kindström told Ryan Peterman he was promoted three times in three years: IC3 to IC4 in one half with a Greatly Exceeds rating, IC4 to IC5 over three halves including a COVID half with no formal promotions, and IC5 to IC6 in two halves. Each step came from taking on the behaviours of the next level, first owning whole projects, then owning other people's success, then scaling himself across several teams.
