How is the T4 offer for Goog for Seattle ..

Got this offer recently for T4 SWE 143k base + 360k equity 4 years + 15% bonus + 50k sign on? Total years of experience 7.5 years. Currently Amazon SDE2. Is it lower end, or Median of top notch ? Do I have any more headroom for negotiation? Also what is the general(Meet expectations) year end base increase and stock refresh at Google ?

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

What is your offer for Goog ?

Amazon sarcasticg Apr 18, 2018

I think microsoft meant ms offers shit for stocks

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

Also does Base increase during year end evaluation ? If some what is the general % ?

Wow.. Take it dude

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

Was just searching blind , have not seen anyone with offered base less than 150k for same position . Generally seen peeps with 155-160k , so was concerned if this is on lower end ?

I would say median in Bay, probably higher end in Seattle

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

Do Goog comp vary for bay vs Seattle ?

Google callofwild Apr 18, 2018

I'd assume so, probably could ask the recruiter

What the fuck is stocks? Do they also give you equity in another company?

Amazon sarcasticg Apr 18, 2018

You have to think within the box..No pun intended

They give waters, too.

Btw, this is for Swe

It’s fair (median) for a ‘real’ T4. Base is low but rsu is much higher than average. It’s low for downleveled T4, if you could get T5-equivalent offer from elsewhere, you should ask for much more.

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

Thanks , is comp same for Bay vs Seattle ? Or is this median for Seattle too...

Google relus Apr 18, 2018

Policy wise it is the same but statistically Seattle median could be lower due to local market and lifestyle. People from Microsoft (like myself) would happily accept an offer that’s 10% lower than Google median but 50% higher than MS pay.

Ask for 170k base and see what they offer

Google Facebook Apr 18, 2018

No way, 160 would be the max if you have E5 offer from FB and G wants you badly.

How many years of experience at Amazon?

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 18, 2018

4

Is it AWS or Retail? Does Google care about past experience or work during interview?

Google Facebook Apr 18, 2018

Awesome offer. Above median for Seattle. Take it immediately.

Amazon amzntonext OP Apr 19, 2018

Thanks , not sure if pulling my leg though !! I have seen your comments in other sal evaluations thread and it seems like this might be below median (That dude had like 15k more base etc)

Perhaps in Bay area? In Seattle L4 base starts at 132 and spans to 155, afaik. Stock is decent. It rarely exceeds 300k for L4 even in the Bay.
