Hi guys, I work at AWS with 5 yoe. Is there a chance the Google offers 130K TC for SWE L4? Recently did SWE interviews at Google Sydney. He onsite interviews included system design so I suppose it’s L4+. I passed HC with a good feedback being assessed at L4~L5. However, there doesn’t seem to have a match for me here in Sydney. My personally feeling is that the recruiter has been helping me with team matching is very unprofessional. He clearly didn’t want to forward my profile to US. The first excuse he used is Visa being difficult, which I know isn’t true for Australians. To keep me in Sydney, he was trying to sell me non-SWE roles like support in GCP. On my insist, he said he shared my profile with the US recruiters. A week later I got an updated from him, he said that there’s a potential fit in GCP. But I need to set my exception of TC being 130K USD to proceed to talk to the US recruiter. Otherwise, in his words, “don’t waste the precious time of my US colleagues” Is he for real? 130K TC for SWE in MTV even before talking to a hiring manager? My interview experience before this guy was very good, but he just shocked me again and again. Please give me some advise if you can, thank you guys.
Recruiters at Google can be pretty bad. I had a pretty bad experience with the one doing my team match. $130K TC is way too low even for L3. You should be getting at least $250K or more to make the move worthwhile.
If you have another recruiter that helped you setup the phone interview, it might help talking to them since they might be able to connect you to recruiters in other teams.
Yes, I kinda feel like humiliated by the way he talks. 250K would be the minimum for me to move to MTV
Say yes and get contact of US recruiter and then negotiate.
Just tell the recruiter u can talk about pay once u like the team and the work they are doing in US. US recruiter will be talking to u independently is my understanding
Looks like he is penalizing you... just connect with the US recruiters and re-negotiate
$130k sounds like the salary for L4... Double check that
Sundar only makes 150k TC. We don’t like greedy people here
Jeff makes the same. Frugality
Any chance that any guy can help me connect with a nice recruiter in US? I’m afraid that the Sydney recruiters will be on the same boat and won’t help me out...
Do you know what would be the TC in Sydney? AU $130k ?
