curious how google rewards promotions. Say the L3->L4 promo, and L4->L5 You’ve just been promoted to L4. How does your comp change? With a salary increase? Is stock rewarded at promo time as well? Etc Just curious how google does things I can tell you at msft at least for L59 through 62 the rewards are VERY underwhelming. Refreshers are practically non-existent and he promos come with like 10-15k salary bumps. Practically a slap in the face when I got 12k salary bump for my sde 2 promo and nothing else
Promos are harder to come by at Google. At Msft, because of all those levels, you have these significant base bumps. Not justifying the measly refreshers but it’s not that bad from a promo bump point of view(IMO, 2/3 level bump at Msft == 1 level bump at Google).
They are not significant. It's 5% a level.
