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

Have interviews upcoming and would like to understand how career progression at non-engineering roles (PgMs, StratOps, BizOps). Also, understanding comp growth would be nice too.
I only know a handful of folks at Google with non-eng background and their feedback about work has been good, but very mixed about promotions and salary growth.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
16.5% annual growth for me across 4 years.
Hourly rate is the metric to optimize for.
Google 1: how was the one year at BizOps work life balance wise? Is it as intense as consulting?
Also, why did you decide to take an interna exit?
What level/role are you targeting OP? Also, are you actively interviewing with google?
