Hi!
I have been trying to switch to a technical role at G for some months now with very little luck despite submitting CLs for my current team + 20% exp. I’m currently in a sales ladder but do mostly development work and want to switch to a role that offers me more support and growth tech wise. I’ve also been interviewing externally and I have heard positive feedback for SWE @ Microsoft just need team matching. Would it be smart to switch or wait to find a SWE/UXE or other tech role at G?

For additional context, I’ve been mostly applying for grow postings. I’ll interview with some SWE HMs and of the ones I did they will just tell me to apply for the google developer academy. For UXE, I generally don’t meet with a HM and get rejected. I have asked my 20% project about this as well and they don’t have headcount. I’m not sure if there’s another place I should look?

IMO if your goal is to switch to SWE / UXE and G isn’t providing you that opportunity, take it where you can. You can always get a couple of years experience and rejoin Google in the future.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
