Is it fine to join Google as SSE (L5) at 13 @YOE ?

Recently, I received an offer from Google for a Senior Software Engineer (SSE) role in the Google Cloud domain. I currently have 13 years of experience and am working as a Staff Software Engineer at Walmart.

Would joining Google now as a Senior SWE be good for my career growth, given my experience level? Also, with my years of experience, would I end up being the oldest SSE in the org? 😃

Would appreciate any suggestions!

Promo to staff is one of the hardest promos at Google. So if you are looking for growth will stay away. Like I don’t think there will be a lot of growth for next few(3+) years

How about L6 AE role compare to L5 swe?

Is L6 AE to L6 SWE internal switch possible? Some people told, no it's not as Google will downgrade, is that true always?
