I would really love to join Google, but they lowball too much! Does anyone know why that is? I’ve recently interviewed at FAANG and I feel my interview performance has been consistent across all the companies, yet the results were very different: FB: E5 offer, ~390k TC Netflix: ~400k TC Google: L4 offer, < 300k TC (~270) So, even if I really would like to join Google, it won’t be the smart move for me. Yoe: 8
Did you present them these competing offers yet?
I did. They say they can’t match it, they say the offer is consistent with the band they placed me in.
Google offer for which location?
This is all in the Bay
You have two excellent offers.
Yeah but Google is the company in which I have the most long term belief in. They are so diversified that they will keep thriving by definition. FB and NFLX seems much less defensible.
Isn't like 90% of Google's revenue still coming from ads? They're pretty diverse in terms of products they've built out, but it doesn't seem like something they'd continue long term if they continue to be unprofitable, or at least not directing revenue to their money maker.
I am pretty sure you're competitive but Google doesn't five a fuck. It doesn't need good engineers to do the work now. It's becoming AWS or sth that needs more and more work force rather than high quality engs.
Yeah. It just sucks because I went through some team matching calls and there were some really interesting projects... in infra.
This guy is absolutely correct. Most companies don’t need that many great engineers. Just monkeys who can write code at fast speed.
Ask for extra interviews for L5 maybe ?
270,000 is a "lowball" rofl. That's barely the income of 5 average families. You should sue someone.
Real reason: people put Google on a pedestal and Google knows it.
This. If you are not happy with the offer, walk away!
Join NFLX and tell them to stop offering suggestions on my account. Can’t have the in-laws know what I’ve been watching 😂
Just create a different profile 😐
google fucked you up lmao

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
Google used to be small. They went for quality over quantity. Now Google is large. They go for quantity over quality. Neither is right or wrong. It all reflects their judgment of value on the margin.
