Is there any granularity within the Google levels? Recruiter is telling me I'm coming in at the top of L5 but how can you know? Currently an L63 at Microsoft so would this be an effective promotion if true? Non-eng, 9YOE, top tier MBA, current TC $240k in Seattle. @Google
Maybe top of the pay scale. Give us your offer numbers and maybe we can help
No. At least nothing explicit. But the recruiter can mean "you are not meeting L6 yet, but a really great L5. So I guess you can get promo soon if you do well". - nothing guaranteed, depends a lot on your project and manager.
Is that true even outside of devs? Role is GCP partner management
Maybe they mean at the top of the pay scale?
