How do you think is possible to move up in Google? I heard a lot of people stuck in the same role for a lot of years…

There should be a caveat or two for this discussion. Moving up to L5 is relatively simple. Moving past L5 and especially past L6 is a different ball game.

It’s possible and happens frequently, you are in charge of your own career. Have never seen somewhere that makes it easier to move around to match your interests and/or move up. Perf cycles can be brutal sure but moving up is not all that hard.

An L-1 must eat an L in order to achieve promo. Such is the circle of life.

I think typically a young L-1 challenges an aging L for control of the pride. A bloody battle ensues in which the L either vies for dominance or succumbs to youth. Then a committee validates there were no eye gouges or low blows and crowns the winner. You get a small bump in base and at some point you get a bigger refresh.

Oh yeah your manager also needs to wear your merch

Be good at your job, have strong manager support.. you’ll get promoted

Its like any other place, do great work and get rewarded for it but dont expect things to just be given to you because of how long you've been in role

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?
