I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny that Rippling’s L9 is equivalent to Google’s L7/L8? Levels.fyi says yes but for startups this can be complete nonsense.
Have an offer to share with the community?
Rippling’s hiring secret is that they uplevel everyone. A staff engineer at Rippling is a senior engineer everywhere else. If they want you to believe a Rippling L9 = a Google L7, it means a Rippling L9 = a Google L6 at best.
Maybe true in the past for some early joiners but things have changed over past year. New CTO has brought more formal leveling system. Probably for the best truthfully.
I’ve seen the new formal leveling system. If anything, it just codifies exactly what I’m talking about. The staff description matches senior descriptions at several FAANG companies.
How is the google offer ? Do u have offers from These ? Also TC …..
I got L8 offer as E6 2 years ago, was having the same question but I didn’t go.
What?! That’s 🚀
Rippling L9 = G7
L9 is Senior staff
Rippling L9 == G L7
