Google Sr. Staff SRE vs Sr. Staff Engineer?

May 7, 2021 14 Comments

Exploring an option to switch from Principal Engineer at Microsoft L66 to Sr.Staff SRE at Google. Wanted to understand the difference in role and responsibilities of Sr.staff #swe VS sr.staff #sre at #Google? Do they match pay and level wise as well? Can a sr.staff see switch to swe role later internally? Being engineer now, if I switch to SRE, would the market accept me back as a engg post Google?

Searched and could not find this info on Blind. So your answer would be really helpful for community.

YoE:15 year
TC: 450k

Edit:
1. On call is not an issue. Already doing on call at Microsoft with no extra pay. I am more concerned about career progression after Google.
2. No offers. Starting interview.
