Google T5 Engineering Offer Review

Microsoft wjlx61
Apr 5, 2018 25 Comments

Base salary: $165k
Equity: $480k
Standard 15% bonus
No signon

Including bonus, total comp: $309k

This is for Seattle area. Currently am senior engineer at Microsoft, 10 years experience.

Thoughts? Seems a little low to me for T5, but also don't know what's due to Seattle vs. Bay Area.

    For Seattle, this is good. For bay area, this is low.

    Base is low for Bay Area, probably good for Seattle. RSUs seems good. >300k TC in Seattle is really good actually

    Get competing offers, they’ll beat it. The offer they gave me was north of 400k TC (including annual bonus, excluding signing bonus)

      But only after I had competing offers. Their initial offers was similar to yours, but little more equity and sign on

      I did this years ago. G didn’t care. They say they may be able to but it would take some weeks to go through the committee.... maybe that’s changed

    But for the first year you will be paid only 165k , that’s super low and you are loosing money there , you should atleast ask for matching or raising your base by 5% and giving you joining bonus of money equivalent of stocks that will vest this year so you don’t see drop in your comp for the first year

      By the end of his first year he should be able to vest 1/4 of the RSUs and also get the 15% bonus

      When does the first rsu vest happen?
      Apr 5, 2018
    • Google / Eng var
      There is no cliff at Google, your RSUs start vesting immediately
      Apr 5, 2018

      Rsu vests monthly with no cliff. Devmain, what you are saying has no sense.

    Do you have any competing offers to negotiate with?

      Not quite yet. Have offers pending from fb and amazon, but still waiting for comp numbers.

      If you get a competing offer you can push a signon, but they probably will not change the base/rsu

    Base is kinda low, equity looks good, ask for more sign on
