Current title is sr swe (L6) but manage a few direct reports. I am expecting an offer from Mandiant as director of eng next week. Mandiant is being acquired by Google at this time. Will this offer help me move onto L7? I'm not sure how leveling works after acquisition. TC:450k #google #mandiant #fitbit #looker
Sr swe is not L6 at G.
Idk about entire G but GCP has some L5 that are SWE III or sr swe. same for L6. some staff, some sr. I think it depends on team size too I think?
This would be news to me. Level and team size have no connection at google at all. Your level is whatever workday says your level is.
Isn’t L6 staff swe?
Idk about entire G, but GCP has a bit of a mixed titles. I've seen L5s that are SWE III or Sr, and L6 with staff or Sr title. Maybe because GCP has very small teams?
IIRC you can change your title through workday or something. Some people have something like head of xxx. Eng level should have the right info
Tc is all that matters. If the new tc is higher than your current tc, make the move.
During M&A, one set of leveling is set by the company who acquires and other set is by the acquired team. Google will try to keep you in the level they think is appropriate. Then your manager (VP or SVP) will bat for you and say this person is capable of being a Director etc. If the stars align, you’ll be L7 or you’ll be a Sr. Manager.
OP is a contractor at Google
In GCP which is pretty much a contractor vs. "real" Google
You're not going to get that TC at Mandiant.
if you join at director at Mandiant, it may not translate to Google as it is. It might be a manager.. we are still in process of mapping the roles but I can definitely say that it will not map to Director. expect atleast 1 or 2 level down
I mean that sucks, but honestly we are overweight on VPs and directors, some of them have no directs
