Is MI rating at Google L4 an alarm bell?

I joined Google early this year as an L4. In my recent discussions with my manager I was told I'm borderline between SI and MI, & I am scared that it might be in MI.

I was told that I have enough impact in execution but design wise there are no artifacts and my execution speed is on the lower side.

Is this relatively common or did I really fuck up bad to get here? Also, considering I'm stia Noogler can I expect some slack?

what are the implications of getting a "borderline" MI rating?

Wow, you are lowballed for that YOE. After 2020, new offers are 70+ with a base of around 40-45

I heard Google has stack ranking and has essentially become Amazon.

So, Your manager may be letting you know this so that this shouldn't come up as surprise. (curve fitting.)

Ask specifics about what went wrong. Ask what you can do before the rating cycle / next time.

If you smell bs in answer talk to your skip manager.

Are you in GCP? MI is not common and only 6% gets MI and only 2% NE.
