I got verbal offer confirmation from Google recruiter. The two teams offered to me don't have good work. I am considering to join Google as it will allow me to move to US on L1. Does working in shitty team reduce your chances for switching teams. How easy it is to change teams internally at Google? Also, how easy it is to change teams within India after an year within a shitty team? P.S. I have better paying offers from Start ups in India, so was wondering if it makes sense to join Google. Tc - 26 at Amazon Yoe - 4
Startups will provide you a better growth. Google is a massive company and you will have less chances to grow. On visas there are uncertainties and there is a 150 year wait for green card. I wish you live that long but unfortunately the chances are less. Even with 26 lpa you can achieve a lot in India but San Francisco cost of living is huge and even with google salary, if you have a family , it is not going to be as comfortable as India. My advice : take the startup job in India if the pay is better.
So are you saying 250k salary won't be comfortable for a family ?
Are you working in India ?
How do u know beforehand that the teams do not have good work ?
talked to people internally
What did they say about the chances of an internal transfer to US ?
What's the TC offered by Google and the breakup ?
Doesn't Amazon offer L1 transfer to US? At least when you interview with a new team? Going to a new company (and not even a good team at that) sounds like a risky move unless your chances at Amazon is zero.
Looks like he is SDE1. Sde 1 are not allowed for L1s.
I am SDE 1 at Amazon and tired of culture.
How much is the Google and the other better startup offers ?
40-45 lpa is the average for a 4 yoe
How can Google provide you L1, when you are working in Amazon. L1s are for internal moving employees only
He is talking about the chances after 1 year of work
My bad, missed it. Long weekend is already hitting me.
I have offer from Google and start ups. Trying to figure out which one to join.
Join the start up. If it grows, you will grow much faster. Google is already bloated. Your grown will be very limited.
Start-ups are generally very toxic in culture. Google gives L1
Start up option I have has great culture. Just that revenue is not sorted yet. Have enough funding to stay for next 2-3 years though.
