What level are you? How much wiggle room did you have? Did you get a signing bonus? Current TC: 230k Google TC: passed all steps, waiting for incoming offer
TC or GTFO
Level and role?
Got the standard new grad offer of 155TC in NY. Negotiated mainly with Airbnb as leverage up to 190. (116/225/15)
When did you interview? Yoe?
Which team and org you got matched to?
180k -> 250k + 50k sign Didn't have any competing offer that was above Google's initial offer.
Did you ask for 50k sign on or did they just give it to you?
Is this for L4? How did you negotiate without strong counter offers?
L4, 4 YOE. I asked for 275, they offered 230k. I asked for 270k, they came up to 260k. Didn't budge after that, but did offer to switch some signing bonus and RSU to base, so my base is over 155k. I found a team I liked and didn't want to wait for competiting offers so I took it.
Which competiting companies did you mention to recruiter
I mentioned a few like Lyft, Facebook, Snap, Netflix, Yelp. I had time to get an interview with Lyft, but it was for a bit of a different experience than I had so I didn't pass the interview. Didn't have time to get through the others, and G was my top pick anyways.
Not very much. Went to fb instead.
