Passing the interview is tough, but it's actually just the 1st step of the journey - After you get into the company, you need to figure out how to survive and thrive there. *More specifically, you must consistently get good ratings in that company's performance review system.* This is particularly hard, especially at top tech companies like FAANG where stack rank percentages and PIPs are getting jacked up higher than ever. In the modern tech economy, performance management is more intense than ever, and as a software engineer, you must be ready for this (and we're here to help!). After going through this course, you will: - 💡 Understand the 3 core performance review system archetypes and which one is the best - 🤝 Smoothly work with your manager to create a plan to achieve the exact rating you want - 🛡️ Have sharp tools to protect yourself from the dreaded performance improvement plan (PIP) - 💪 Make the best case for yourself with an expertly-written self-review - 💬 Know what feedback to write for your peers, particularly on the constructive side
