I had a google interview recently. It was done actually for an L5 (Senior Software Engineer) role. Here is the feedback roughly:\n\nScreening: Strong Hire\n\nRound 1: Good Hire for L4\nRound 2: No Hire for L4\nRound 3: Lean Hire for L4\n\nNow the recruiter told that my interview didn\'t go well for the L5 role and gave me 2 options:\n\n1. If I want L5, she can reduce cooling period to 2 months. After that I have to call her to schedule all DSA rounds again from beginning. This assessment decides my L5 role.\n\n2. If I want L4, proceed with Googlyness now and 1 or 2 technical rounds as necessary.\n\nI dont know what to choose, she gave me 2 days to decide on that. Can anyone help me take a good decision here.\n\n(Also in the call, she mentioned if you join as L4 now, it would take 4 years to get into L5.)\n\nThank you so much! Appreciate your help!\n\nYOE: 5.10 years\nCTC: 35.6 LPA
