There will be a pool of candidates who "passed", and hiring managers can search through that pool to decide who to take for their team. If there are fewer openings than candidates who "passed" or hiring managers aren't interested in taking someone, then these folks won't get an offer.

GA4 has several advantages over UA to account for the evolving privacy landscape. For one, it supports user modeling in ways that are GDPR compliant, and you simply cannot count these users in UA. Apple and the leading browsers have made changes with cookies that have necessitated product changes, but not using fingerprinting as suggested elsewhere.

GA4 also reports on combined app+web data whereas UA did not.

Another distinction is that GA4 has better support for muti-touch attribution, e.g. all of the user ad touchpoints, for ad traffic, whereas UA was primarily last click, or first click if you look at the user acquisition reports.

TCI is not even close for median "salary". 300k is way too high. This may be right for median total compensation for engineers (factoring in stock appreciation), which is salary+bonus+stock, but the company has a lot of other lower paying job functions. Overall, I suspect the 300k median is not accurate.

Levels.fyi tends to be in the right ballpark. However, the equity number has to be understood in that Google gives out $X RSUs vested over 4 years and the stock number there factors in stock growth, which can vary a lot by person and hire date.

The L5 salary on levels.fyi is near the upper end of the range, at around $196k in MTV. The engineering ladder is very lopsided, with most people being in the L3-L5 range.

I am a longtime Googler, not impacted by layoffs.

I also dispute all the other comments here that Googlers are overpaid. Now, I certainly can only speak from what I see. In my experience, Googlers tend to work very hard, including extra hours on nights and weekends. Expectations are very high, and unlike many other companies, the engineers don't get a lot of top-down direction, so often have to figure out what they work on by themselves.
