Likely l4 but can try to push for l5.

L4. Depending on your experience, 5 at a stretch.
I disagree with G1 that you can push for higher levels, you’re evaluated by your peers and based on their feedback, that’s your level you proceed with for HC etc.

Got it - really appreciate the input 👍

Depends on years of relevant experience

What's the role...that comes into play

Manager with MBA with 6 years experience?? That sounds like a 5 or 6 to me. I got hired as an IC L5 with a comm degree with 6 years exp.

State the all in comp youre valued at and back it with data. And interview well. They’ll take care of the rest.
