Hello, Blind community, Came to know today that I have passed HC but the recruiter told me that for Level HC was leaning towards L3 based on interview performance. Is this something that Google generally do and if I push how likely is it possible to get L4? Thanks
Take it. Negotiate salary wise, other l4 offers will give u leverage. You will have less pressure and might get promoted faster
Not possible to get L4 as far as I know without reinterviewing.
Even if he has a counter offer?
Levels aren’t affected by counter offers only TC. TC is theoretically capped by level but is definitely affected by counters.
You might be able to get more interview rounds to push for L4 but probably unlikely.
Okay, is it full day round of interviews or single interview? Also, will the L3 offer still stand if additional interviews don't go as planned?
@OP Congratulations! Have you already completed Team Matching? Which location? My packet will get presented to the HC tomorrow. I have 3 YOE. I really hope I get L4! 😐
Thanks. Yeah, team matching done. Location is SVL. All the best for your HC.
Nice. Thanks man!
Awesome news. Congrats on the offer! The nice thing about lower level is lower expectations. 3.5 years is fine for L3 and you should be able to negotiate higher end of the range.
Yes, that's what I am aiming for. I asked if they can do L4 if they can't then I will push for the higher band for L3.
Did you go in interviewing for L4
op, any update on TC?
Did you do well in interview? Usually you can push for TC but level is decided by HC and impossible to change.
I think I did well although there were a couple of places where I think I could have done better.
