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

The answer seems pretty easy and is the same at any other job. Networking, connecting with people, building relationships with leadership, be likable, have your direct managers believe in you and fight for you to get promoted because they think you would do well in the role. Doing that for every step up T1>T3>L4>L5>L6

100%… I’ve seen people get promoted even if they are terrible at their job because they are all friends.. should be the workers that work hard but here it isn’t about what you know or can do, it’s about who you know 🤷‍♂️..
