Google relocation options - cash out vs points
Will be joining Google SVL (SWE - L3) in a week and was wondering which relocation option I should go with: Option 1: Cash Out. This comes out to roughly $6.3K post tax. Going to Airbnb until I find an apartment. Option 2: a. Destination services (16 hours worth of concierge services for housing, etc) b. 45 day corporate housing c. Final trip to destination reimbursement (flight + uber to apartment + food for that day) My decision is basically dependent upon the following factors: 1. How long it would take to get an SSN number? I assume this is required for credit checks. 2. How hard it is to find apartments in Sunnyvale? 3. Are the destination services that helpful? Can anyone provide any insight? Thanks. TC: $195K
Checkout Craigslist, Facebook, Zillow, Trulia. FB is probably the best place to find roommates if you want to share your house.
So you would go with Option 1?
Cash Out - option 2 is probably worth $3k
That's what I am thinking too. Just wondering how hard it would be to find a place in Sunnyvale
Checkout Facebook groups - Roommates in Bay Area, there are lot of postings. Should be an easy find
