Thinking about applying to

Hate to be the bearer of bad news. You will most likely come in at L5. L6 if you ace the interviews. L7 if you get a standing ovation after each interview.

Google directors have significant experience (ie 20-25 years) at large organizations.

Partner at a consulting firm does not equal directors unless you are a senior partner.

Wouldn’t a director of product at Google make something like $600-800k/yr? I find it doubtful they’d hire at this level

They wont

If they contacted you, it should not.

You’re most likely going to land as a mid-level PM at any of the FANGs. Semi-senior role at a mid-sized company is not going to land you director unless you’re coming from somewhere elite like a quant trading firm

Issue will be relevant experience, not yoe.
