GCP CE L5 290 (no sign on) vs APPL Sr Data Engineer 300 (with sign on)

Which opportunity is better for career growth? Are the TC numbers reasonable for Bay Area? GCP has more variable pay based on sales quotas. So, in effect, take home will be around 260. YoE- 11 years

The goog

Should spread signon over 3-4 years when you are calculating TC, so Goog

The goo, ask for sign on

PayPal EfQj43 OP Oct 14, 2019

TC is pretty much same for both around 260 -270considering GCP bonus will never be achieved 100% and spreading Apple’s sign on, with Apple towards the upper limit. So far the response is that Google is a better bet for career growth. Thanks.

Oh, I’m new to blind. I was also hoping for compensation insights. Am I lowballed? How much more can I ask for?

Amazon tech69 Oct 14, 2019

https://www.levels.fyi is your friend :) Is that your offer before negotiating? There is always room to negotiate and G is notorious for lowballing. Without higher competing offers though, it is hard to get them to give you more $$ unless you're willing to walk

What's the full breakdown for GCP? I'm assuming that TC includes the 43% attainment bonus?

PayPal EfQj43 OP Oct 14, 2019

Yes, that’s right

PayPal EfQj43 OP Oct 14, 2019

Bonus on target sales. It’s 43% of your base.

Your salary is good for a level 5 CE. Are you in SF or somewhere elsr

PayPal EfQj43 OP Oct 14, 2019

In SF

You are about 35-40% higher than places like Chicago, DC, etc. From what I have seen, if you do well the stock grants lead to increases of that are solid. In 3 years you should be pulling about 100k more than you do now
