Google compensation negotiations
140k base 50k joining bonus 205k stocks over 4 years 15% guaranteed yearly bonus Can I negotiate and get more? This offer is for L3 position. I have 3 yoe. Currently i am negotiating on the basis of a competing offer from Amazon(sde 2 L5 total yearly compensation of 215k). If it helps this offer is for one of the YouTube teams. I don't know if YouTube can pay a little above or below average.
U would need competing offers to get more. Google just matches competing offers; they won’t offer u more otherwise.
Thanks man! I have just one more follow up question. I have already requested atleast 275k of stocks. Is that good enough? Or am I asking too much?
It’s likely they won’t budge on the current offer. It’s already competitive with amazon’s 215k TC, so they have no reason to increase it. Please let us know what they come back with tho 🙂🙏🏿
Honestly it doesn't sound too bad for 3 yoe but everyone says it should be higher so 🤷♂️🤷♀️
The levels.fyi avg is like $176k TC for L3, so I think it looks like you've done very well.
There’s no such thing as a “guaranteed bonus.” It’s called “target bonus.” It means if you meet exactly your role’s expectations, you’ll get your target bonus. If you exceed the expectations, you’ll get more. If you don’t meet all the expectations, you’ll get less. In reality, it’s a little more complicated than that, but I wanted to keep it simple (there’s also the factor of the company’s performance.)
How to share conpetitive offers with another company? Did you provide offer letter or just the approximate numbers.
Damn google offers are getting lower and lower these days.
What! Tell me you're joking and this was sarcasm
Not joking. Your offer is low on stocks. I think they started being frugal because of their new CFO.
