Google negotiation
Hypothetical offer numbers: - 200k base, 25% bonus, 400k/4 yrs Two competing offers who will match Google. Will Google meaningfully increase the offer if others will only match? If so, which element are they willing to move on and how much? Both base and stock? Note: Non-tech position.
Doesn't 200k base for non tech role look high?
A VP is a non tech role, their base is was higher. Non tech can include corporate strategy , risk (which is an entire niche to itself), and on and on. Brad Smith (EVP and general counsel for Microsoft) made $50million last year, he’s non tech.
Could be legal/compliance
If you are a special candidate they will beat other offers. Otherwise if you're just like any other tree fiddy hire theyll only match
Google is more flexible in rsu than base
Hoe would you prove that you have competing offers? What if the offers are fictitious?
+1 interested.even though obviously risky
Levels? Role?
Keeping hypothetical to stay anonymous as it’s a fairly niche non-technical role (L6). More interested in knowing Google’s philosophy and how willing they are to go above and beyond other offers to close the deal so I know how much can push. Interview feedback was apparently all “very very positive”, if this matters.
It's not really predictable to be honest. If you have offers from other public companies of the same caliber then they are definitely willing to beat out the other offers, but keep in mind that they have tons of research and probably have a pretty good idea of what $ amount will convince you to join.
