Got down leveled by HC. Google hasnt given an offer yet. Has anyone been successfull in changing it to L4 during VP approval ? My Recruiter is going to try that. Awaiting other offers. 4 yoe current TC: 170k
Maybe if your recruiter had you reinterview with a few people again. My recruiter suggested that. I also got downleveled to l3 (6+YOE) so I’m with you there. I didn’t bother trying to change it and just took another offer.
He didn’t suggest that. He is trying to find a team that agrees taking me at L4 and then approach VP.
Ah I didn’t know they could do that as well. I know FB did that (got IC4) and he passed it around seeing if any team wanted to bump me up. No one did though :P hard to convince a team to use the money/head count and get me (weaker IC5) over a stronger candidate.
At L3, you might be able to get a TC at the higher end of L3 , but are you going to take it for a good TC , that is higher end of L3 and lower end of L4 ?
Could you share what is higher end for l3?
It might go all the way upto 220-230 which is what many L4 candidates with less experience are offered . What has been the offer as of now ?
@OP: Was recruiter able to change the level?
It wont happen
