I am a T4 at Cadence and got offered an L3 position at Google. I know it seems alright, but am I'm accepting something too low? A friend of mine, which was a T3 got offered an L3 position and this really got me thinking.
Is this a test or QA position? SWE starts at L3
My TC, including stock is about 50% more than what I used to earn in Cadence. Without stock, still 10% higher.
Wtf is L2? New grads start at L3.
Yeah, I think I got the naming wrong. Let me check that info right.
Used to be that Software Engineer II at Google was L3. This might be what the confusion is about
Google has a very aggresive low leveling policy. Don’t worry about it being low as long as you feel comfortable with your compensation and the team manager you are going to work with.
Which data structures/algorithms/design pattern questions were you asked to implement?
TC or gtfo
Swe 2 == T3. It's the same thing.
To me, TC is all that matters. You can progress fast if you are put in a lower position than where you belong
