Got an offer for L3 (down leveled) YOE 3 post Masters in CS. Location - Mountain View Base - 131K Equity - 145K Sign-on - 30K Current TC - 126K I will be moving from east coast (NY Metropolitan Area) Interviewing at other places but no offer yet. What should I ask for while negotiating?
Too low. Have you looked at the rents in these areas?
Yeah I have. And that's what concerns me, the cost of living is almost 1.5 times than where I live.
Damn, Google really does like downleveling and lowballing these days. How was your interview experience? I have similar experience and I will be interviewing soon.
I had 5 rounds of technical interviews. Difficulty would be mostly LC medium. My interviewers were great and very helpful.
You will be poorer than on the east coast (except if you live in Manhatten). Ask for 10% more TC or you stay on East coast.
Did you apply for the university grad position or just software engineer in general?
Alright let’s strike off G from FAANG
Honestly its not bad for L3 @ 187k TC not include sign on But with ms and yoe you could push for more and try to be firm. Wish you the best of luck I took a similar offer with 5 yoe at tier 3-4 companies. Their initial offer had 100k rsu grant. Come on I was devastated on the phone when recruiter said that
I think it’s a quite standard L3 offer from G nowadays. They just downed the TC A LOT. Of course, the range of L3 TC is very large, but not everyone can get the high end of the range.
That’s a new grad offer
