I was recently offered an L3 position at Google coming in with a bit over a year of industry experience. For other companies I interviewed for, I was given more senior offers (like E4 at fb or equivalent at some startups). I ended up choosing Google, however, due to the extremely strong package I received (~260 TC) and better work-life-balance.

My question is how quickly can I expect promotion to L4 having joined with what appears to be a stronger offer otherwise usually associated with down-leveling (or in my case doing good with interviews and negotiation)? Also, would promo increases be %-based for salary and equity, or is it more dependent on your manager just coming up with his/her own numbers that they see fit? Does coming in with such high comp (like getting top-of-band L3 equity) downplay promo increases? Thanks.
