Have been interviewing with Google for a while for multiple roles trying to find the best fit. From job descriptions and conversations with hiring managers, it looks like these roles are somewhat...

Felt similarly when I left D. as a sr. Manager, took a hit on base but total comp was similar. I felt that long term the opportunity in both career and total comp potential was better at Google for someone who want to do tech work. First few months were hard to get used to, such a different work culture....but I haven't regret it. Almost 2 years in

For tech roles, your observation is correct. Level translates to YOE. Up for SM this year and was offered L4, and know of one SM who came in at L4 level. It's all ladder dependent.

I am more technically inclined, so I enjoy the role and will be moving up quickly, but it depends on your team, opportunities, and internal politics etc.

For non tech roles, I think Ms and SMs can comfortably come in at L6 level, or even SCs with a ton of experience. By non tech, referring to StratOps, Program Managerment, or sales teams.

...more junior than what I do now especially given I have good chances for the SM promotion next year. It’s pretty much the work C and SC would do on my team, individual contributor. On the other hand I really want to gain different experience (never worked in the industry), travel less, work closer to the product, and earn more. The roles range from project manager to system and data controller (which is similar to technical PM) from what I understand). Is it normal when you switch to the industry role? I have 12 YOE and live in SF.

What’s your TC? I think Google tends to push down a level but the TC will still be more than you make now. I was downgraded to entry level but make more than a Senior Consultant makes at Deloitte

If u can even get L4, you’ll be making a lot more

G1 what level did you enter google at? What are some of the particular difficulties you encountered as a noogler? Thanks in advance for any insights!

I would prefer not to share TC .... But I'll say that I felt the initial offer was competitive enough with enough future to make the change....I didn't even pay attention to the level until I was in....

Technical ladder TC btw is a bit different

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
