which company? I've had friends get promoted at then Facebook and Amazon and not receive a 50% increase with EE/S let alone double. I doubt it happens very often even for top people unless they were underpaid.

I edited my comment but will reply here to for clarity.

It’s not the initial promo that necessarily gives you doubling. It’s the wider compensation bands the promotion opens up. Sustained performance can have high upside in a 2-4 year time horizon for high performers.
