Fishes, how were the appraisals in general at Deutsche Bank for roles in Mumbai location? Understand that they got concluded only recently so it will be interesting to know. While it may vary from function to function but we will atleast got to know a ballpark figure. Also if you could add your designations, will be great.

Google cloud pretty much only hires experience cloud and tech people.
Level 4 means you can run a work stream alone, a mid sized client, can architect and design moderately complex solutions
Level 5 means you can run a large client, architect and design complex solutions and know Google cloud really well.
The primary thing is how much experience do you have with Google cloud. From what you are saying...it sounds like you don't have much experience.
For now focus on learning gcp and getting onboarded.
Everyone thinks that they should have been leveled higher BEFORE they join Google. Within 3 months ...you will be posting about how you feel like an imposter and how everyone knows more than you.
Trust the process
Thanks G2 & G4, your perspectives really help! I’m going to push the recruiter for L5 as hard as possible. I hope it doesn’t come down to open reqs and such, will keep you all posted on this thread!! Thanks a bunch for helping out!
Joined L4 and promoted to 5 a little over 18months in. My advise is if money makes sense, join google. Also comp growth is much faster at Tech compared to D. You will almost 100% be an IC for a while and won’t be manage teams anytime soon anyways here at G. I only know 1 maybe 2 quite senior consulting folks joining at L7 level who got management roles. IMHO, only if you inspire to make partner at D one day, then stay.
Annul stock refresh. If you join Jan 2022, you don’t get a refresh at end of 2022
Always fight for highest level imo.
Although that would make sense for someone making a lateral shift it’s still a different move from consulting into tech cause the roles are so different so it might be useful to pace things out? Also I’m hearing there is a non-formal blanket rule that you need 10 YOE to make L5 as a GCP TAM?

Are you applying for the TAM role or do you have an offer?
