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

Anyone else long on AMT?

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

I think it got clearer but there's always new issues with new complexities!
More complex, and I think that's actually the point. The easy problems get solved or automated. What's left is the stuff that doesn't have a clean answer. You get better at navigating ambiguity but the ambiguity doesn't go away, it just gets more interesting.
