When I joined Google my TL was an L6 on the engineering track, 10 years ago. My vague memory of the engineering ladder when I joined went up to L9.

- jefftk 4y agoInteresting! I don't think I'd seen the term before, but it does seem standard: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/23/pace/ https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/23/pace/ With that usage, the point at which the company stops being "up or out", it was L5 when I joined, and L4 when I left.
