Got this offer: TC 325K, signon 25k Google also moving to offer. No number yet, but does Google match this for L4? YOE 2.5 with CS PhD
Which company is the offer from? They only consider FAANG as competing offers
Are other offers considered useless or are they actually somewhat considered?
Depends how well you did on the interview
Interviews went really well, and recruiter told me that. Facebook might also extend an offer next week... they might consider E5 but Google didn’t
Then you have a very good chance to negotiate. Good luck
And it is from a Unicorn. Cannot name because recruiter is here I know and would know exactly who I am :)))
If the competing offer is from a private company, you won't get a full match. Let's say the stock is valued at $7. Google might value it at $4 or $5 and 'match' that way.
But what is the high end I can push Google for L4?
When you guys say TC 325k you include anual pay and stocks?
325k = base + annualized equity?
I always get confused on that as well
Yeah, lots of people write their 4 yr equity
As an L4, the base salary can be 140 to 170... 15% bonus.. so to match 75% of your current offer, equity should be 250k over 4 years which is easily possible for Google
Yes, with an offer from fb that is! Just be ready to negotiate and stand your ground. They might also ask to see an offer letter.
Possibly. They won’t if it’s paper money though.
What’s meant by “paper money”?
Private equity from unicorns generally isn’t matched because there isn’t a firm $ value to the equity. Or at least googles estimate doesn’t match what the other company claims.
