I interviewed for L4 but got an L3 offer after the final review.

I have several years of experience and currently have a lot more ownership than what an L3 would have, so that’s my main concern.

TC is pretty strong though. The base looks like normal L3, but the equity pushes total comp close to public L4 numbers on Levels.fyi.

Anyone seen something similar?

• Is a top-of-band L3 offer common after an L4 downlevel?
• How long does L3 → L4 usually take for an experienced hire?
• Anyone regret joining Google at a lower level than they were effectively operating at before?
• Would you care more about the level or the comp?

**Job #1**: my top option, 65k/year

**Job #2**: second option, 75k/year

**Here’s the issue**: I already signed the 65k offer letter for job #1 and negotiated that one from 60k to get them to 65k. Their range was 60-70k though 😒

Is it too inappropriate to ask job #1 again for more after signing??

I recently applied for an Enterprise Technology Architect role at Accenture, with Networking as my area of expertise. I've cleared the initial interview and have now been moved to the Final round of Interview.

The position is listed as Management Level 8 (ML8).

I wanted to understand a few things from people currently working at Accenture or who have experience with this level:

What is the typical salary range for ML8 in India?

What exactly does ML8 represent in terms of seniority? Is it considered a higher management/technical level or a relatively standard level?

For someone with around 10 years of experience in Networking, what would generally be the appropriate/typical level at Accenture?

How is the compensation usually structured at this level (fixed vs variable)?

Any insights from current or former Accenture employees would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Can someone give me what to expect for salary for L5 for technical onboarding/cloud AI roles in bengaluru

I came to know just now this is cloud engineer technical onboarding team which is not swe role but still gen ai handson

I think it's under GSC.. post sale service i guess

I’m currently deciding between two titles in the same team/company:
Senior Data Scientist — ₹30 LPA

Lead Data Scientist — ₹30 LPA

I initially asked for ₹35 LPA for the Lead role, given the additional responsibility and ownership.
The company said their maximum budget is ₹30 LPA, but they are essentially letting me choose whichever title I want.
So there is no compensation difference - I can take Senior DS at 30 LPA or Lead DS at 30 LPA.

The Lead role would obviously come with more ownership/accountability, but I’m wondering whether there is a strategic advantage to taking the Lead title for future career growth, or whether I should take the Senior title since I’m not getting additional compensation for the additional responsibility.

Total 4 years of experience. Current title - senior DS and current CTC 25 LPA

What would you choose in this situation?

Applied for a job with a base salary range of 90-160k. I stated my salary range is from 130-150k base. I was told that 120k is the highest they would consider? HOWW? If the job description says something else? How should I negotiate to ensure I am compensated fairly?

Adding that I am still in the interview stage and have 10 YOE.
