Burned out at current role so wanted an exit. Got another at Google S&O with ~310TC. Was v excited initially, but reading this forum makes me a bit worried abt changing into a non intellectual role with slow progression. I do value the wlb though. Any perspectives? Easy to switch paths within?

Near impossible to switch once you’re in at Google - would definitely take that into consideration. Things were different 3-5 years ago, but at present promotion is near impossible in most orgs.

L5 in Bay Area or NYC? Intellectual stimulation depends on the role and honestly how much the leadership you’re working with values you. Yea it’s not easy to switch internally esp from non tech to tech. Stratops to pgm or something shouldn’t be hard though

Intellectual or not is heavily dependent on the team

Did you negotiate? How much are they willing to move

Yes I did, and it depends on interview feedback I think

Congrats op! How soon did you hear back post final onsite? Did HR let you know they were sending you to HC? Just finished mine so not sure of timeline. Thanks

If you’re not gonna take it I’ll take it

You need to decide what you want more. Wlb, or fast career growth. If you prioritize career progression and money (long term), stay in consulting. But if you don't want or can't handle partner track, or you prioritize wlb, then take google.

If you’re coming in near the top, expect no raises and lower refreshes.

Promos take much longer so don’t expect that for 4 years

Are you coming in at L5?

I have applied to several positions up Google. I have not heard anything back at all. No matter if I customize my résumé to the job description I still don’t hear anything back.

Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?

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
