I am 44 yr old guy and google down leveled me to L4. Offered TC is 260k. Is it ok to join at L4 ? I am ok with 260k as my current TC is just 200k in Bay area
As long as you're cool being same level as kids in their 20s.
You will be 45 next year either way.
It's now or never!
I mean how do you know you were down leveled? 200k TC in Bay Area as an engineer at 44 is pretty low. It’s possible you were leveled correctly and that mapping just happens to be L4. If you were indeed down leveled you will get L5 in 2 yrs or less.
260k for an engg with 20yrs exp not low ?
There is no correlation between exp and salary atleast in tech
That’s fine, no one really cares your age. And no one asks your age. 260 > 200 and Google > Dell.
One of my teammates is l4 and he's late 30s early 40s its nbd tbh
It’s not that rare. You can hide your level if you want. If you’re looking for something stable I would recommend!
Congratulations! Take the job. Rest and vest.

If your tc is less than 260 then it's fine.
