FAQ

When will a Meta PSC candidate see a promotion decision after nomination? Meta’s Four Pillars Review adds a fixed 14‑week deliberation period after nomination. Even a perfect score must wait those 14 weeks before the promotion can be granted.

How does Apple’s Calibration board determine fast‑track eligibility? Apple’s CRB looks for three signals: a measurable KPI improvement, roadmap alignment, and a senior PM endorsement. Hitting all three triggers a fast‑track that cuts the standard nine‑month stay to roughly nine months total.

Is base salary the primary factor in choosing Meta over Apple for promotion speed? No. The promotion latency matters more. Meta’s base of $215,000 delays the next level by 8 months; Apple’s $225,000 base accelerates the next level by 2 months, leading to earlier equity vesting and higher five‑year earnings.amazon.com/dp/B0GWWJQ2S3).
