What does leveling mean aside from TC? What are other factors to consider among L5 Twitter, L4 Google, L4 LinkedIn offers?
Job responsibilities? Time to the next level (L5->L6 vs L4->L5)?
I guess my question stem from the fact that companies low-ball/ down-level engineers after interviews all the time, so if I pick a L5 offer at Twitter but ends up becoming L4 at another company a couple years later when I interview, don't I end up wasting more time than getting the L4 offer from e.g. Google, which is known to low-ball people, and climb up the ladder there?
Thanks.

Apple has quite wide ICT4 band, so it doesn’t matter as much as in Google, where it would be either L4 or L5.
Google has a lot of policies around levels so it’s important. Googlers, correct me if I’m wrong, but:
1. L5 participate in picking OKRs while L4 are not
2. The algorithm decides your refreshers and base raise depending on performance rating, current TC and average TC for the level. And at the bottom of the band raises are higher than at the top (with the same rating).
