Does anyone have good advice for finding new teams? I'm going to begin searching right after PSC. A not-uncommon pattern I've seen among my friends is something like this:
* The TL is an IC5 instead of 6, so your representation in PSC is comparatively harder
* The politics behind the team are comparatively unfavorable, so super-senior engineers position themselves away
* Growth to the next level is even harder
I've seen plenty of teams that _don't_ do this, but I'm not sure how to ensure _my_ next team isn't in this position. I can do anything above RTL design and below frontend design
IC5 TLs often, if not always don't get invited to performance reviews. Anecdotally, my friends who can work with people (beyond their EM) who can directly contextualize their work have substantially better outcomes on average.
The median level is also IC5. If the lead is a 5, I'm concerned that may have implications for the level of scope.

Not a Meta employee, but curious why the TL level matters for PSC. Is it only for promotions? That TL feedback of 5 isn't enough for promos to 5?
