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

Also curious to hear from Xooglers that have left with the intention of coming back to Google at a higher level.

Your current TC is 270k as L3?

Yes. 145k+25k+100k(Vested). Equity has appreciated from 60k->100k.
