Currently an L5 at Google, who knows when I’ll make it to L6. I’m interviewing at block for a staff positions Curious what people’s thoughts are block staff vs google L5. TC: appx 450k Yoe: 8ish
speaking from experience, think carefully before you join block. culture is pretty bad.
What do you put under "culture"? How's the wlb?
Please elaborate
You won’t get l6 those days are gone, my manager told me there is a freeze on this level
Ok so moving is the only way up! Good news for me then
It’s the same. Block staff is actually senior equivalent. But do whatever gets you higher tc and title. Since you have 9 yoe. You are seasoned senior Eng so staff at block should not be difficult
no, that's senior tc at block
What staff role are you interviewing for? Crypto role?
L6 at Block is a more senior engineer. L7 is staff.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
it's easy to get block staff, TC is higher.
Than Google?
yeah. Google pays lower tc compared to block. block pays as much as Pinterest, meta, Uber all of which are higher than Google
