I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?
My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.
L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.
TC: 270K

I am interviewing! Curious what do people think of the career pathway for SPM roles?
Is the US based role? I had applied, assessment was submitted, but haven't heard back after that. Been about ~2 weeks since last update, maybe a bit more.
Yes! Ok I applied on the 3rd, received a notification on 6th, think I got another update the week after…and now waiting. Basically same timeline as you. Good luck to both of us!!!
And then sometimes I get rejected after 2 days it just doesn’t make sense but agree with your theory although good luck!!
Did you both have referrals out of curiosity?
No, I didn't.
I did but looks like it is not helping HA
Ugh I’m sorry, I don’t have an update at all so might be in the same boat. But good luck on other stuff and hopefully we are coworkers at some point HA
And for those who liked the message - does that mean y’all applied? Or just curious ha
For which role specifically? Top partner (one of which they asked for software among other potential industry experience) or the telco specific one
