Advice to get into Google
Currently a Manager at Deloitte. Strong development history with good leadership experience. YOE is 15yrs, with 9 yrs of tech leadership with reports numbering up to 35 and have managed managers. I also have good PM and product management experience, as I have taken several products/offerings to market. Up for promotion to Sr. Manager this year, but not loving consulting and looking for a change. Would love to enter G, curious what level I should aim for? There is a Director of Engineering posting that made me super excited and I match specified requirements. What do you all think? Good level or too high? Your advice is greatly appreciated!
Likely L6
Would it hurt my shot to apply higher?
Yes, L6 it is. Chances of higher is less
Gotcha. Makes sense. Thanks!
Here's one way to benchmark. Eng director (L8) TC at Google would be around 1M. That would be 4x your current TC. That kind of jump is rare.
TC?
Going from consultant to fte would be worse TC but better WLB I would think
TC 240k
