Where does L5 / "S&O lead" sit in hierarchy at Google. I'm an S&O SC at Deloitte, up for promotion (almost certain) to manager in the next few months. Does this sound like a good move?

L5 is a people manager position typically post MBA or post grad school. It’s a great position and considered “terminal” at Google in the sense that you can stay there as an individual contributor or people manager without being coached out. To get to L6 from L5 is where the work starts. L6 is Senior Manager equivalent.

Not nearly as rigorously as Netflix, FB, or Amazon. For this role, it’s terminal so there’s no pressure to advance as long as you’re meeting expectations but an L3 stuck for more than 4 years would prompt a tough conversation.

Can confirm this. It's a great manager level role and that's where the pivot happens from ic to management. L6 is Director/SM equivalent.

like

It is possible that L5 is an individual contributor role and not a manager. Depends on the team, but if managing is something you want straight away it's worth checking with the recruiter

Would love to hear how you landed the job... I'm a M at S&O EY hoping to make it to L4/L5 at Google. L5 would be s great transition from SC for sure.

I haven't even started interviewing yet. A recruiter from Google reached out in LinkedIn and see just had a prelim discussion. Will talk to her again on Monday but want to better understand the role before hand

I am L5 individual contributor and can confirm my official StratOps title in official HR systems is Associate Manager. L8 is Director title at Google.

EY1: as a manager, you should be able to get L6 (unless you just got promoted). I know several ex consulting Ms who got L6
