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.

Been with Big Four advisory (GRC) for 10 years. Really tired of meaningless “consulting” and commoditized implementations. Recently been through a rough job search and finally landed an offer with a mid size bank in their risk practice. People say that the culture there is quite political and bitter but I’ll learn a heck lot and get a new opening on my resume. Salary is the same. The other option is to take a consulting job that pays me 50k more but do the same work! Thoughts? Thanks!

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
