The performance review process at Meta and Google is so exhausting… It eats up a good 50% of everyone in the EM structure, without (in my and my colleagues’ experience anyway) any tangible benefit.

That side of the EM role is 50% of why I hesitate to move back into management… performance review season is bad enough as an IC!
It’s really specific to certain SV companies. Everywhere else I’ve worked, the “career mgmt” side is maximum 10% of your time
I'm hoping to keep better records as I go in 2023. Famous last words :)
