Parul Gupta, a production engineer at Meta, credits her two promotions since 2021 to a formula for success consisting of technical competence, personal branding, and mentorship. Initially plagued by imposter syndrome, Gupta overcame her doubts through support from mentors, enabling her transition from an Individual Contributor 3 (IC3) to IC5 level, significantly increasing her compensation. She emphasizes the importance of personal branding in securing promotions and making one's contributions visible within the organization, showcasing how these elements work together to facilitate growth in a tech career.
Mentors played a crucial role in my journey at Meta. They provided guidance and support, helping me overcome early challenges and build my confidence.
