I find that Google recruiters are sometimes unprofessional. Not in their words but their behavior. Eagerly invite me to phone calls and to apply for roles and offer to answer any follow up questions and stay in touch via email. Bug me to finish the application while not having answered any questions. Once the application is submitted immediately ghost and never answer the original follow ups. Nothing changed—my application resume and data is the same they used to reach out to me initially.

That’s every recruiter everywhere, not a GOOG only thing

There’s a severe lack of understanding of Goodhart’s law throughout Google. I was in sales but I would not be surprised if recruiters are goaled the same way - on meetings, on interactions, on applications submitted, rather than on delivering a good customer (or in this case, applicant) experience. This is definitely a trend throughout the tech industry right now, but I found it to be particularly egregious at Google.

I wonder if it is, in part, due to the volume of applicants, prestige of Google, and competition with other major tech companies that promotes this behavior

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

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
