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.

Also, why did you decide to take an interna exit?

Currently an SM and I estimate 4yrs to PMD.

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.

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
