I joined Google early this year as an L4. In my recent discussions with my manager I was told I'm borderline between SI and MI, & I am scared that it might be in MI.
I was told that I have enough impact in execution but design wise there are no artifacts and my execution speed is on the lower side.
Is this relatively common or did I really fuck up bad to get here? Also, considering I'm stia Noogler can I expect some slack?
what are the implications of getting a "borderline" MI rating?
I heard Google has stack ranking and has essentially become Amazon.
So, Your manager may be letting you know this so that this shouldn't come up as surprise. (curve fitting.)
Ask specifics about what went wrong. Ask what you can do before the rating cycle / next time.
If you smell bs in answer talk to your skip manager.
Update: I got a high SI this year. Made me realize how important your manager is. It has been a life-changing experience for me working under this new manager. It is a game changes when the manager shows trust in you and is supportive. It is still hectic and stressful at times but stress of meeting deadlines is wayyy better than the stress of meeting a manager who has already assumed you're not good enough.
