Passed interviews, HC, and got team matched at L3. Thanks to Blind, i knew to ask HM whether he could help advocate for me to join as an L4. He said yes.
Recruiter called to tell me they wanted to move on with L3 offer. I brought up the whole L4 topic, and got a blunt "this is not something we can do at this time" followed by a whole spiele.
L3 offer was 128k, 95k over 4 years. A joke.
Meta E4 was 165k, 400k over 4, 60k signon
Then i brought up my Meta E4 offer and the numbers.
Ohhhh how quickly their tone changed. Suddenly, "we will do everything we can to get you a competitive offer". I get an email from my recruiter 10 min after we spoke on the phone stating that they contacted my HM, and they "collectively decided" to submit my application for re-approval to HC for an L4 role. The part that im dreading is the "you may need to do 2 more interviews". Now i did see another post on here where some person managed to get upleveled to L4 with 2 yoe and no additional interviews. Here's hoping that happens to me. Im so sick of interviewing.

At that point I was fed up with Googleās predatory practices, lack of respect for a candidateās time, and outright lying. I rejected them for FB. Feel free to DM me.
Crazy
Hope it works out.
Otoh had E4 offers from FB, Apple, DataDog.
They never budged though. Not even a reinterview option. My recruiter said I could have the HM vouch for me for E4 but it didnāt really change anything, they never budged.
And also regarding timeline, G was one of the earliest interviews I had and still the last one to share any numbers with me. They have the most inflexible recruiting process.
