I have: - 10 years general software development jobs in among start-ups, contracting, universities, government, etc. - 4 years Engineering Manager experience at a medium size start-up (~200 employees, ~50 engineers) - 1 year in a Tier 2 tech company. My position seems to intersect with Google L6 according to levels.fyi If I were to apply to Google, what level would you recommend?
L5 at best
Most recent position?
They won't consider experience outside of FAANG at par with FAANG experience. They want experience at scale for it to really count. So they will down level you. You can try for L5.
Apply for L6-L7 and youâd land at L5-L6, hopefully L6.
Try for L6, so that way if you get downleveled, you get L5
Ask to replace Sundar
You should be able to interview for L4 and then get down leveled to L3. It still prob pays more so just take it
Depends how much you want the job. L5 is safest bet. If you don't screw up terribly you'll get it, if you do screw up, but just a bit, you'll get downleveled to L4, but still get a job. If you go for L6 and screw up similarly, you won't get downleveled, but HC will be, like, "uhm, sure, he might possibly pass for L4, but, come on" and reject instead. L7 seems out of question to me. Also, contrary to some other posters here, I am serious :-)
