TPM (L4 for 3 years including previous ladder) - Changed ladders and promo time was reset; Making 250k tc
15 yoe and good ratings (not a single CME in 3 years)
Should I continue to pursue my career at G or look elsewhere?
I am confident of doing both TPM and PM work (have MBA from top school)

Look in to Product Management.
At google they only need to vaguely know what their products do because most of their work is about standardizing development practices and automating reporting systems. That work would be a small part in the portfolio of a tpm at other companies, it wouldn’t be their only thing though.
Super frustrated with not able to work at potential and comp lagging behind.
Agree you should hop jobs if perf suggests promo is a long way away.
My manager suggested it may work by getting a competing offer and threatening to quit.
It is sad that Google is not able to recognize contributions already made and hiding behind bureaucracy/policy.
