Hi All, I have a strong finance background and have been expanding into technology and contract management and am trying to land a role at Google or another big tech firm. What advice do you have for a foot in the door at these firms? Applying on the website and even with a referral doesn’t seem to be effective enough to land an interview

You might be applying for the wrong roles or too high of level

Yes based on title your probably an L5 or L4. Director here is L8 not getting that.

Is there a way to see L levels on external job postings from Google?

No

Ok is Head of above Director? What level should I be targeting for an L5? Manager or Lead?

Manager is a level at a consulting firm
At google manager is a role

A level 6 manager will make the same as a level 6 individual contributor
--------
The manager does not have more responsibility. They have a different responsibility than their employees. Their job is to make sure their employees are happy and respond to SOWs

This is a different role than consulting mgr

Anything with Lead or Manager could be 4 or 5…Head is usually 6 or 7

You should caveat that these rules require people to have supreme skills (as compared to other googlers). Way too many people on the outside confuse years of experience with competency

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
