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

I would say seniority first. It usually can't be disputed but may not be popular. Have you thought about volunteers? I'm sure there should be a few who would want to go to first for WL balance. Especially EE's with kiddos... just some thoughts 😊
