Same TC. Probably easier to get promoted as SETI. Less internal mobility and less respect as a SETI.
Not hard to transition from SETI to SWE (can be done without additional interviews, unlike other ladder transfers).
TEs don't do much coding afaik, so of course they get less TC.

Does Google still have test engineers? These are manual testers right?
No, TE != manual tester. TEs are often put in charge of manual testers.
