155k base, 15% bonus 650k worth stocks (over 4 years) 50k sign on Currently making about the same at Amazon(thanks to stock price). So this is 3% increment + sign on. Worth joining?
This is way better than mine. My base was higher but I'm way jealous of your equity. Did you have competing offers? Is this their first offer?
6 years. Not bothering about level as long as comp is in good range.
Think its pretty normal to be downleveled to L4 with the expectation you will move to L5 quickly. This just reduces the risk you have the techinical chops for the interview but not the leadership skills for L5. But this is better, you're getting the L5 comp with the responsibility to L4. If and when you move to L5, you'll be well above median L5 comp.
Bad username OP
Very good offer, quite high for T4.
Right? 340k/yr TC is damn high
Stock is really great. I think there is still good potential for google stock to move up. Google also have better benefits and looks better on resume. If the team is a good fit I would join.
Are you currently SDE 3?
Nice. better than an average SDE3 at amazon. Didnt know Google L4s get >300k total comp. And, really curious how you were making the same at Amazon. Was it becoz of TT ratings?
Sea or Mpk?
Worth joining. Your TC will keep going up after refreshers (provided you join early enough) (e.g. 120k more over 4 years each year).
L4 refresher isn't 120k.
Its a good offer but "early enough"? Google is well past the growth phase.
340 TC at T4 (without sign on) is very good. However, you need to start before January 1 or you'll not get refresher for 2 years instead of 1. And try negotiating to get more stocks, especially if you have competing offers.
Is this real (refresher after 2 years for those joining after Jan 1)?
Yes, refresher is not prorated. Cut off date is January 1st, join before and get it after 1st year. Join after and get it after 2nd year.
