Accepted an L3 offer that is significantly better than my current tc, though I’m at 5 yoe. Another issue is that the offer is for the bay while my family is based in NYC.
1. Is it possible to do L3 to L4 in 1 year?
2. Is it easy to transfer internally to NYC as L3/L4?
3. If I transferred to NYC as L3 after a year, would it be possible to get promoted to L4 after 6 months at the new team? Or does transferring fully reset the promotion schedule?
Thanks!

If you get a lower rating due to quota, it'll happen at calibration level. Not SVP level.
2. Should be easy if you find a team but will be easier before joining, just push your recruiter.
3. This is tricky, you need a good project in new team to show impact. 6 months are unlikely for that because if team is different you will be like a noogler learning there.
Btw what’s the TC?
What about transferring after 6 months only. Can this backfire since it require manager approval? Or is it in general they would approve anyway assuming CME?
