I have ~6 yoe and recently interviewed for a L4 strategy and ops role. Any chance to negotiate for L5? Also, what’s the typical timeline after having the final round? Appreciate all the insights!

Just some advice, if you get the offer and you aren’t happy with L4, don’t accept based on the promise of a fast promo. Promo is much slower and harder to come by these days

G1 is VHCOL, and trend is to hire in low cost areas. Take 20-25% off if you’re not in Bay or NY

Get the offer first

Great advice :)

I’m interviewing with them today actually for a final round (difference role). I wish I had an answer but I hope we get it!

6 YOE doesn’t mean much for leveling, it’s the relevant experience that counts. Also +1 on PM1s point, the level is non negotiable, it’s determined through the interview process and unlikely to go up

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
