Joined FB as E4 in May 2019. Ratings: 2019 H1: Too new to evaluate 2019 H2: Meets All, no promo (manager already told me) Promo after 2020 H1 unlikely. Don't have good projects in my team to show impact and direction. Also other senior ICs have the lead on projects already, and it's hard for me to change that. I worked in a Series A startup in Israel for 1y before joining FB. Bachelor in CS, no Master. Do you think Google would offer E5, assuming I excelled at the interview?

How were your interviews
My guess is Google will offer you high L3. Highly unlikely L5, L4 if all the interviewers literally fall in love with you
Wow!
Dude L5 is senior software at Google, Ive seen people with over 4 years of experience and masters entering google at L4
L3 at most. For sure. L4 impossible.
2 yoe - l3. Maybe l4 if you really push it and have great interviews. 0 chance of l5 in your situation. What do you bring to them for l5 hire?
Why not ask for L6? You don’t have skills but you got balls.
I joined Google when my YOE = 2. They brought me as L4 (I think the PhD counted, though)
Your PhD definitely did count
PhD fresh grad can get l4
Most of the time I would say L3. But since you’re coming from FB E4, they actually wouldn’t downlevel you. Every other company, google would downlevel just not FB.
Lool, L5 with that background? You'd be lucky with L4.
I’d say you’d get a high L3 Also I think you’re feeling really entitled
Nah high L3 if he interviewed mediocre. He'd likely get interviewed for L4 and expectations would be set for L4.
Why are you expecting so much from Google?
What do you mean?
Nothing, good luck!
