Google India Interview

I have interview with Google India. Recruiter reached out to me and talked about various levels. She asked me whether I want to interview for L3 or L4. What level should I target L3 or L4? I read google tends to down level to L3 anyways for my experience. Is it worth going from Amazon SDE2 to Google SDE1 in terms of growth, scope and influence. P.S. I am very happy with my current work and WLB. YOE: 2 TC: 35 LPA

Will google give increment over my current TC at L3? Should I ask recruiter to have me considered for L4 and decide after inteviews?

Just do that

Go for L4, else stay at Amazon. Dont let them play brand game.

Haha, kinda agreed.

Google is not like Microsoft where you could have 2 yoe and come in at L61 (I’d come in at L62 with 3.5 yoe in 2015) Good luck trying that strategy :)
