Google Data Center Technician

Offered DCT 2 position in Northern VA. Base: $60,000 Equity: $48,000 Yearly Bonus: ~$9,000 Sign On: $11,000 this is after negotiations, which will be a loss of $18,000 from my current base pay. Will the paycut be worthwhile to get into Google? I also would like to know more about the equity.

Getting Google may be worth the hit for longer term goals

Equity will vest over 4 years and is like cash I work with some HWOps techs. There is good upward mobility. I know several L5s who got started in HWOps. I recommend taking the cut. Also, you will be near a regular Google office as well for other perks, in Reston and in DC

How many levels are there for DCT? Or are you referring to another role?

Four levels.

Take the hit for a year or two for the experience, connections and resume.

Yeah, connections is huge here in Loudoun County, we have data centers popping up left and right.

Do they do market adjustments? Considering this inflation and crazy rent.
