Abstract: Gélinas introduced the delooping level of an Artin algebra as a homological invariant that bounds the big finitistic dimension of the opposite algebra. A natural question is whether such invariants are preserved under derived equivalences. Chen recently showed that the finiteness of the classical delooping level and its sub-derived variant is not derived-invariant, but the case of the finer derived delooping level of Guo and Igusa remained open. In this paper, we prove that the finiteness of the derived delooping level is \emph{degree-shift invariant} under derived equivalences: if two algebras are derived equivalent via a tilting complex of width $k_T$, then finiteness of the $(k+k_T)$-derived delooping level on one side implies finiteness of the $k$-derived delooping level on the other. Consequently, the finiteness of the derived $\infty$-delooping level is invariant under derived equivalences. Furthermore, we introduce the global derived delooping level and prove that, under a derived equivalence, its $\infty$-version changes by at most $k_T$. In particular, its finiteness is a derived invariant.
