Can someone please explain to me Google‘s approach to seniority? I found a role that requires about eight years of experience even though I have about a decade under my belt. A professional contact at Google told me that it’s actually a very senior role based on its level and I wouldn’t be eligible. How does that make sense? Google

In general if you’re coming from outside tech, Google likes more YOE than the JD states. It’s kind of garbage and probably leads to huge waves of applications who aren’t eligible. I always see people hired with many more years experience than the JD states. Eg I got hired for a role listed for 5 YOE and I had 9 at the time.
Also for context you’re going up against others who probably have more YOE than the JD so you really just start to compete with those folks too.

@G4 I’m not a consultant. But thanks for explaining

Apply anyway! Don’t listen

Yes, this is an L6 level.. it’s fairly senior. Generally for L6 I see 12+ YOE hired.
