Joined Goog out of school with lowball $100k stocks over 4 years. TC is not increasing much and neither is growth or level. Still L3 and hit 2 yoe today. Extremely depressed about my career growth and the fact that meta would have probably made me an E5 by now with my same ability. I’m especially depressed because people at Meta and Nvidia don’t have some special ability from the average Googler. And they are much richer than me with more responsibilities and growth. How to deal with this?
“With your same ability” lmfao if you are 2 YoE and still L3, you aren’t the top performer you think you are
Agreed, if you are struggling with L3->L4 you’d likely get PIP’d at Meta as E3.

Ah jealous
Lol e5 at 2yoe, hahahahhaha. Dream on.
Why do you think you would get to E5 at meta if you can’t get to L4 at Google? E5 at meta is like L4.5 at Google
While it’s true it’s harder to get promo at Google, if you’re struggling to get from 3->4 after 2 years, getting E5 at meta has a bit of a stretch
If you think you're big enough, interview.
This is what you signed up for when you joined google. Okay pay and extremely low growth for great wlb
