Performance reviews at FAANG can feel like a black box until your manager delivers the verdict. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack a specific self-assessment framework that senior engineers at Google and Meta use to align their work with promotion criteria before review season hits. We walk through a concrete example: an Amazon SDE II who gathered evidence across three dimensions — scope of impact, technical leadership, and business influence — six weeks before her annual review. The result was a surprise promotion to SDE III. We also discuss common mistakes, like rating work by effort instead of business value, and how to calibrate your self-assessment with peer feedback without looking insecure. If you're a software engineer aiming to level up at a large tech company, this episode gives you a repeatable process for making your contributions visible and defensible. #FAANG #PerformanceReview #SelfAssessment #CareerGrowth #Google #Meta #Amazon #Promotion #Engineering #TechCareer #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SoftwareEngineering #CareerStrategy #ManagerFeedback #PeerReview #EvidenceBased Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
