I’ve been offered a L5 position at Google as an SAP specialist. Is the right level for someone with 14years SAP experience and who works as an SAP Architect? What is the expected salary for London?

You’re evaluated during your interview(s) for level. You’re placed a level for a variety of reasons, from experience, to behavioral, to leadership. It’s not just your resume.
You might be on the high end of L5 and could get promoted quickly if you show impact but there’s no way to tell.
It’s nearly impossible to negotiate level as you have to go back through HC, or the role just might not be scoped for a higher level.

Some L5s are but people managers usually start at L6. You’d have to ask your recruiter that question.

G1 - I am waiting to hear back from HC on my offer. I have 10yoe. My hiring manager is a L5. Does that mean I'll probably be offered a L4?

I think L4 stands then. And I should have added earlier, I considered that the hiring managers level contributes to L4.

When I came in I was at L4 with 8 yoe, but no MBA.
I am at the lower end of L4. Colleagues at L5 came in varying between 12-15 YOE. It’s really not just about YOE so it’s hard to say this with confidence, not knowing you.

You definitely won’t get $175 base for L4, and I hesitate to say no for L5 because it depends on the role.
Total comp needs considered versus just base salary. Annual bonus (standard is 15%, sign on, and equity.
**this assumes Bay Area or NYC comp.

After you moved in-house, how did you get more comfortable reviewing contracts or counseling on issues you weren’t super familiar with? I was very specialized at my law firm and took a similarly specialized role in-house….but I still get requests to mark-up types of agreements that I never touched at my firm. I’ve been trying to find CLEs to get up to speed, but I’m wondering if this is generally something that gets more comfortable with time…
