Were you “down leveled” by Google at hiring? If so, how did you weigh the decision to go to Google vs. somewhere else? Does it feel worth it still?

On paper, yes. But I think we recognize early and course correct.

Would you mind elaborating on how you “course corrected” after that realization?

Google does not ‘course correct’ in most cases. They gave you a down leveled offer knowing you would take it.

Not at all - but I’ve had the opportunity to lateral internally to many interesting roles. So I am ok with the trade off

I think I know what you are talking about. What role and level did you interview for?

Hi Fishes ,
I have been offered the role of software engineer 2b in boa.I have an overall experience of 7+ years. Is this the right designation / am i being low balled?

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
