[SalesForce] Contact data not evaluated in Journey Builder

I am new to Journey Builder.

I have created a sendable DE (Subscriber DE) and 2 emails. The DE has following fields:
SUBSCRIBERKEY, EMAILADDRESS and STAGE.

STAGE field is set to 1 for all subscribers and will be updated during the journey.

What I wanted to implement with Journey Builder is:

  1. In Week1 send Email1 to all contacts with STAGE = 1
  2. After sending Email1, update some subscribers in DE and set STAGE = 2
  3. In Week 2 send Email 2 to all contacts with STAGE = 2

In Contact Builder:

  1. I have created an Attribute Group (Subscriber Attributes) and
  2. Linked Contact ID with SUBSCRIBERKEY in Subscriber DE. The subscriber's
    SUBSCRIBERKEYs match with those in Subscribers in SFMC.

Steps performed:

  1. I created a Journey and select Subscriber DE as Audience, then added
    Subscriber Attributes > Subscriber DE > STAGE into Filter
    Criteria: STAGE equal to 1    .

  2. After first Email I added decision split and used the same field in
    Filter Criteria: STAGE equal to 2.

  3. I then saved and tested the journey but never seen any contacts
    evaluated and accepted into the journey.

I read a previous post and found someone said population should be added. I navigated to the data extension but found it strange that all the data extensions are available except Subscriber DE.

Please discuss how can I make this work completely as per the steps I have performed already.

From the screenshots everything looks ok actually. Please try creating a new entry source and a new journey and see if it works.

Again please make sure there is correct data in the sendable DE with stage=1 before you activate the journey

Also make sure the SUBSCRIBERKEY field is of "Text" Data type,

"EMAILADDRESS" field is of type EMAILADDRESS and "SUBSCRIBERKEY" is used as the send relationship on "All Subscribers"
