Google L4 (ML/AI) India - 1cr realistic?

Dec 4, 2021 69 Comments

Got an L4 (ML/AI) offer in India. Expectation of TC ₹1cr a bit of a stretch? Based on quick glance at Blind and Levels.fyi, 80-90LPA seems to be common.

Have competing:
Facebook (E4) UK offer ~£160k TC (E4)
Amazon UK offer ~£160k TC (L5 AS)
GS India offer ~80LPA TC (VP)

YoE: 8
Current TC: hurts

  • recently rejected google offer for L4. the max comp for L4 is 80LPA as per recruiter. Started with L6 process and got down leveled to L4 due to not so strong coding round performance. They didn’t take system design at all. after average screening round, they changed my loop from L6 to L4 and never informed me until the hc approval for L4 came that i was getting interviewed for L4 only. in between i kept asking why my sys design is not being scheduled and they never told me that i am being considered for L4 loop. instead their answer was - based on your interview performance, your level will get decided. had they told me after screening that L5 loop is not possible, i would not have wested 1 month leetcoding and burning out.

    How did you prepare for G?

    • * List down major DSA areas such as arrays, tree, binary search etc.
      * Try to solve a few easy-medium questions to assess your strong and weak areas.
      * Focus on slightly weaker areas and progressively go to most uncomfortable areas.
      * Once you have covered the whole space and have a flavour of everything. Try attempting questions based on company tags. These tagged questions have been helpful in my case.

      Make a plan, instead of randomly attempting questions. Solving more questions is not always the best strategy.
      You will also have to tune your strategy based on which role you're applying to. If it's a standard SWE, you'll have to be flawless with basics. With roles like data engg or data science, you might get away by messing up a bit.
