Hey @Shophunt I'm @salt
What do you think about the ongoing culling of senior folks within Google right now?
Where you headed? I'm sure it must be a baller location.
What will your advice be for someone working in a startup in early career? Should they get their MS/MBA or continue grinding if the pay is good?
It depends on what you want to do. So I can’t answer that for you. I can try to answer what all options provide you
What advice do you have for someone who is in their early career at Google right now?
I think my biggest learning is to not have a short term view of your career. Lot of people optimise for short term wins and lose long term view. Simple example an infrastructure engineer doesn’t want to work on a client feature cz they would need to ramp up and that would delay their promotion to l4/l5 let’s say. But you will find it infinitely more difficult to get promoted to l6 if you were just a back end engineer all your career
I was pitched L5 interview couple of years ago which I didn't take for personal reasons. Since then, I have been leading a project with 2 SDE1s in my company. I have total 7 years of experience. Will Google me for L6 role?
@shophunt : What is your base at L6 level and , how hasbeen your growth timeline from L3?
