Feels like Google comps for L5 and L6 levels are not good at all vs competitors. Recently got promo in tech role from L5 to L6 and salary went from 197k to 212k in Bay Area.

Somethings not right, might have to do with role profiles. I got the same promo last year, and I went from $192K to $224K.

However, just give it a bit, you will get another raise in March, and most importantly, your refreshers are going to be much higher.

As a manager who looks at comps once every year - this sounds about right. With reduced promos and comps not having been revised for a few years now, Google is indeed behind most big tech peers. This is also the new expected normal given that Google is no longer in a high growth phase of its lifecycle

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
