Google offer, can you negotiate your level?

If you get an offer from Google at level 4 for example, is there room to push for level 5? Or is that non-negotiable once you receive the offer (p.s: obviously comp is negotiable, but curious about levels)

I didn’t because I thought I’d rather be under leveled than over. Turns out I was under leveled and the promo process here is so ridiculous that I’m really mad at myself for not pushing for L6 before.
They might look at your level in the current company, career trajectory, complexity of previous projects that you have worked on, leadership roles held, support of the hiring manager, your skill set and your interview performance to assign you the right level
Sometimes recruiters do bluff to make you accept an offer. Don't get carried away.
