My recruiter told me targeting l4 is fine since there is fallback option to l3(and there will be no design question asked). Is it common that a downgrade happens in the hiring process? Kind of afraid since l4 may be challenging and interviewer may give 'no hire' directly instead of 'consider l3'.
there’s no way you’ll get hired at L4 at google, they’re notorious for downleveling
Unless you are already at some FANG
Received an offer for L4 for less than 2 yoe.. was not at a FANG
