Not toxic Great work life balance One of the best pay per hours worked
Bloated. Work is not that good. Lots of coasters. Transfer learning is low because of internal tech

What does it take to get a T5 offer at Google? Everybody that I know of (with 4-6 years work ex) have joined at L4. I checked levels.fyi and the experience for T5 is mentioned as 4-8 years. Is the bar super high? Do they in general prefer lateral hires to join at T4, prove and then get promoted to...Read more
Hi, I received Google offer for T4. There is not much hope of getting promotion to sde3 in Amazon due to recent reorgs happening in my team. Also, learning is limited as there are no good projects in my team, everyone is doing rest and vest. I am considering Google offer. How easy/difficult is it ...Read more

Base salary: $165k Equity: $480k Standard 15% bonus No signon Including bonus, total comp: $309k This is for Seattle area. Currently am senior engineer at Microsoft, 10 years experience. Thoughts? Seems a little low to me for T5, but also don't know what's due to Seattle vs. Bay Area.
Got offers both from Google and Facebook for level 5 positions. Compensation is comparable and I'm excited about both companies. Not sure which one to choose. Google pros: Better wlb Better level (usually Google gives level 4 for people who get level 5 at FB) More meaningful work (making ...Read more
I am sr eng at linkedin currently thinking of moving to Google. I realize it’s not easy to land a T5 level at Google. Are there any tips for increasing the odds of getting hired as T5?

Loving my job at Google, but getting 5->6 promo is hard because it depends on so many other factors besides performance. Facebook is offering E6 - what should I do?
What is the total comp range for L5 (some call it T5, I assume they are the ?same) at Google in Mountain View, California location?
Facebook E6 Base 210 / RSU $600k Google T5 Number not released yet. Uber L5 Base 180 / RSU 18k unit Thoughts? Personally like Google brand and WLB better. But E6 seems higher than T5 for level and TC.
I'll be joining Google soon as T5. Super excited and also nervous. I have 15+ yoe but mainly on microsoft stack. My team will be using Java which I only used to solve algorithm problems (ie leetcode) 🤣. Know nothing about the framework/ecosystem in Java world (but I'm very solid with Ms stack inter...Read more
Looking forward to give a Google T5 interview. Wanted to know from the other folks about the kind of preparation required especially the sort of system design questions asked. Help appreciated :)
How many years exp , Google require for T5. I got to know , I am getting interviewed for T4 and will not have System Design interview. Is it good to not to have design interview. I think I am better at design then algo
Does anyone have tips on the type of questions (and rough analogues to Leetcode difficulties) I might expect to see in the first phone interview? Each day, my approach is to quickly solve a few easy Leetcodes first (to prepare for answering the initial easy softball question quickly), before tackl...Read more
Searched through the threads and couldn't find any which shared total compensation of a Google T5. Could folks in that level share their compensation? Would help evaluate if I must attempt to interview and if it's worth it.
Wondering if Lyft would interview me for a T5 (or Snap for L4) position provided I have 5 yoe. As per Levels.fyi, this is uplevelling. Also, do recruiters ask your current level? Googlers who got uplevelled from L4 on switching jobs, please share your story. TC: 285
What should I expect from a Google T5 interview compared to T4? I interviewed a while back when my target level was for T4. My recruiter confirmed that they were looking at me at a T5 level this time around.
How does the hiring committee determine the level for a new grad vs. a senior who solved all questions? Is YOE the only difference now since there is no system design round any more and behavior questions are shit? #google
Currently at Amazon (AWS) L5, PhD + 6 YOE I have a Google T5 SWE interview coming up in 2 weeks. I have done about 100 LC (15 hard and rest medium). For system design, I read at least a dozen seminal distributed systems research papers and popular engineering blogs as much as possible for the last ...Read more
