...for a researcher position with PhD in relevant area (not CS, 0yr experience)? I have an offer from Apple at ICT3, but the compensation is on the lower end.. base 130K and RSU 105K. How much can I expect from Google and what level?
Without competing offers, probably low 200s TC at L4, 135-145 base. Assuming it is a relevant PhD. Others you might get slotted at L3. This is for SWE.
About three fiddy
I started at Amazon at 225K level 5
