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

On resume, I’d leave the Build title bc assuming you get an offer when their HR calls Build’s HR to confirm employment dates & title that’ll match up. The rest of the resume should speak to the role you’re pursuing. If the job is a manager your accomplishments should speak team development, hitting schedules & budgets, etc. If it’s a technical role, your accomplishments speak to that. Anyone that’s been around tech knows there’s a culture of made up job titles for over 20 years.
It's very common for titles at one company not to translate at another. Depending on where you're looking to move next, you could get away with Asst. Director or similar. It's important to make sure you're setting yourself up for success in your job search which means using titles that are standard in your industry or field.
If you end up at a company that does a detailed employment history check, they will likely use a service to conduct that for them. With those, you're also usually inputting the details yourself. It's been a long time since I've seen companies care about the perfect title match from resume to employment verification results.
Remember that recruiters and hiring managers are only spending ~30 seconds reviewing your resume so you want them to quickly see that you match their ideal profile. And any decent recruiter would understand why you adjusted your title on your resume - if it even comes to that.
Titles are all made up anyway. List your actual title, and then summarize your responsibilities as that title.
