I am applying at Google, and they have similar roles at both Senior Staff and Staff levels. I fit for the Senior Staff criteria, but I have never worked at Google, so I don't know what their expectations are for these roles. My question is if I do well in the interview but not quite meet the Senior Staff bar, will they consider me for the Staff level role, or will it be a straight reject? I am IC6 and Meta. TC 475K. YoE 14 with PhD.
I don’t think anyone can answer you definitely. It depends on your interview performance and whether your interviewers like you or not.
Do I qualify for sr staff as well? L67 with 20 yoe.
Yes, you can be considered at target level of interviews-1
Google usually don't up level from meta. Ic6 - staff.
Yes if u do well in interview
senior staff are like gods here
Lol. I guess that makes them work really hard and smart.
They can and will downlevel so take L7 interview if they allow.
When you interview for a certain level, interviewers can evaluate you for n+1 and n-1. The entire packet also gets evaluated at those levels. So yes, if you interview for L7 and don’t knock it out of the park but qualify for L6, they might offer L6
Thanks. It looks like applying for Senior Staff will be a better strategy.
That level and TC would map to L6/Staff. If you fit Senior Staff criteria, you would be IC7 with higher TC at Meta already.
