Got approved by hc for L4. Got downleveled as i was expecting. Currently senior mts. I still havent gotten the offer numbers yet. Dont have any competing offers yet but have a couple of onsites coming up. Can i negotiate with the current base and leverage the downleveling? Whats a good TC to expect? Also how easy is it to move from L4 to L5 in Google cloud? YOE 4.5 TC approx 210k
4.5 L4 is not down-leveled. A great new hire will take at least 3 - 3.5 years to go from L3->L5 here and average ones take more than 5-6. Industry hires are always measured on average scale.
Thanks. Whatโs the average time for L4 to L5? Teams are in GCP
Do negotiate
3-5 years for 80%
Just move again before 4 year cliff. Promotion is hard and itโs not worth it to try too hard. Leetcode and get hired at senior level from another company.
What's the TC being offered ? And what teams in Google cloud
4.5 YoE is not downleveled
Yeah seriously. I have 15+ YOE and they tried to bring me in at L5
Wow, are these 15 YoE at Apple?
