I've been extended an L64 offer for a TC of just under 265 (assuming target bonus, excluding sign-on). I was wondering...

1. Expected range of time to promotion from L64 to L65

2. Expected bump in comp (outside of increased bonus/refresher target) for a promotion to L65

3. How'd I do in terms of comp (low, middle of the road, high, etc)?

Edit: It's for an SWE role.

    My l64 offer is about $200k (base+target bonus+stock) which is low. But I'm from Texas.

      What is normal for base and RSU? According to levels.fyi, it's above average. Again, the numbers are excluding sign-on bonus.

  • L64 -> L65 is not easy. Expect at least couple of years.
