Hi hivemind,

I would love to seek your advice regarding career development in Mktg org. I've been with Google for 7 years and all in Business Development/Partnerships with 2 different teams (currently a tenured L5). I recently have an opportunity to be a PMM, but will likely need to repeat my level as my manager is an L6. I love the opportunity to try different things at Google but some of my close friends kept telling me that it's a downgrade from where I am

I have been an L5 for 3 years (interrupted by 2 pregnancies so actual perf record is 2 years, not continuously). That said it felt like forever. I would love for folks in Mktg org to give me some insights /advice on how easy /difficult it is to be promoted to L6 quickly and what is it like navigating mktg politics?

Hi OP! I was searching through posts for some advice on BD / partnerships roles at google. Would you be open to me DMing you to pick your brain? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks. The salary was originally discussed as (say Xk) but the recruiter I'm working with said today that they "realigned the goals" and brought the salary down to (Xk-10). I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?

No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.

2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google
