Possible to get L5 (senior) offers with 3-3.5 YoE?
I'm a L4 at Google, recently interviewed at a few companies hoping to get a L5 offer. However all I'm getting are L4 offers.
Examples:
Stripe L2: 190k base + 10% yearly bonus + 140k RSU yearly = 350k TC
Confluent: 270k TC (don't remember exact distribution)
Coinbase: 260k TC (don't remember exact distribution)
I have a few other interviews lined up after the holidays but I'm getting worried. I've explicitly mentioned to the recruiter that I'm looking for a senior position but that doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I need to show in interviews in particular to get a senior offer, or is it purely based on YOE?
Current TC: 370k thanks to GOOG appreciation, so no incentive to leave unless for a senior title. Current team is very workaholic and somewhat toxic, so unlikely to be promoted to L5 before cliff in March 2023.
