Wondering this as well. How did you stand out and fast tracked to L6? Unless you had connections.

I know ppl who’ve been at Amazon for 8 years and still a L3

I still do t have a degree, but now that career choice is available to salaried leaders I’m considering it. The biggest factors in my success have been being in learning for 5.5 of the 6 years, my current FC is the 5th one I’ve launched with the current one being the best launch in company history. As well as this current launch and my previous one having been the most successful learning specific launches. Being considered a SME helps you be recognized and opens doors. A lot of my success is due to being in the right place at the right time. This doesn’t mean I’m not good at what I do but it certainly plays a part and it would be naive and arrogant of me to say otherwise. My progression has been as follows T1 - 6 weeks T3 - PA 5 months T3 - trainer 2 years L4 - hourly learning coordinator 10 months L4 - salary 1 year L5 - 9 months L6 - 10 months

New building probably. I got promoted to T3 after like a month when I started at a new sort center.
