One of my friends was l5 at G in 2018 Just caught up with now, and he is claiming he is a principal software engineer.
Acc. To levels.FYI, this is l7+ equivalent.
How on earth is this level of growth possible?
Is levels.FYI wrong?
Update:
Scrubbed a few LinkedIn profiles, and it seems like people go from senior engineer directly to principal engineer. With no staff in the middle. Something seems fishy?
Levels.fyi - Compare career levels across companies

Likely he is promoted to ICT5 which is similar to Principal in many companies
