大多数人L5到顶。L6就是team leader:
Levels are denoted with the letter L + a number, which represents the seniority of the role (from lowest to highest). Most sourcing and hiring Google does goes up to level 6 (or L6).
L2 - Software Engineering Intern, usually in senior year of a four year degree program.
L3 - Full time, entry level Software Engineer, also known as the “new grad level”.
L4 - 1-5 years of industry experience, sometimes awarded to high potential new grads and PhDs.
L5- Senior Software Engineer: 6-9 years of industry experience. This is the level most engineers are at internally within Google. You’re expected to be able to operate with little direction and handle complex tasks on your own.
L6 - Staff Software Engineer: 9+ years of experience and an expectation that you have extremely strong interpersonal skills. Many engineers will start managing larger projects and teams at this point. A promotion from L5 to L6 is more exponential in nature and it’s rare that candidates get hired into this role externally.
L7- Senior Staff Software Engineer: 9+ years of experience. These offers are rare and most recruiters can count on one hand the number they’ve seen during their career.
L8 and above - Requires executive sponsorship and not typically recruited externally. This is considered an executive role with large scope.
Software Engineer compensation at Google ranges from $195K per year for L3 to $1M per year for L8. The median compensation package totals $245K. View the base salary, stock, and bonus breakdowns for Google's total compensation packages.
