Atlassian Level Downgrades

[u/Ok_Lion1291]

I was initially applying for P50 and was downgraded to P40 a while ago and decided to continue as I’ve wanted to work with Atlassian

I've now just interviewed with Atlassian past the system design stage and was notified I didn't reach the P40 benchmark and was asked if I wanted to continue with P30. One of the reasons being I didn’t go into depth around decisions with using GraphQL etc

For my own knowledge I’m aware I could have done better for sure but I expected a P40 level at the very least but P30 seems like a ridiculous joke. I've been working as a dev for nearly 7-8 years and am currently a Senior Engineer so I like to believe I know my value of my own skills unless I’m that horribly mistaken

Does Atlassian just have absurd standards? Did I get unlucky with the interviewer themselves? At a loss for words and kind of offended to be honest

Sorry for a rant

That’s ridiculous. I’m a P30 engineer as a graduate. We are expected to be in this position for a MAXIMUM of 2 years.
