I work at one of the FAANGs and was promoted twice within two years. I've been plateauing since, and can definitely relate.

Regarding strategy to get out of the plateau, I think you really have to play to your strengths. Most high leveled people I've found to be lacking in certain areas, but almost all of them are exceptional in at least one area.

Try to think through what strengths you have and see if you can double down on them:

Are you really good at writing a lot of code and shipping things? Perhaps your archetype is a coding machine, and you should find ways to write even more code (without comprimising quality).

Are you really good at collaborating with all sorts of different personality types? Perhaps your archetype is a cross functional engineering leader that can lead complex cross team initiatives.

Find what you're good at. Double down on that and promotions will happen naturally.
