- Google Strategy and Operations Salary Expectation I passed the interview rounds of Google's Strategy and Operation analyst position. No official offer yet.

- Google PM hiring commitee My case is with the hiring committee for a PM role. The recruiter has sent me a doc to fill out for my past roles, promotions, internal references and expected salary.

- if i have virtual onsite with Google this week, is it possible to start by April 27? i read a separate thread about the RSU implications of starting at Google on April 27 vs May 4. (the week delay means your equity grant date is delayed by a month. I’m exploring a non-tech role and i believe rhey hope to interview all candidates by March 31. recruiter said it would take roughly t
- Going to Goog Word up. Might be getting a Goog offer. Not sure about level - maybe L4 or L5. How does google stock vest ? I hear it’s monthly - is that true? Also sounds like they give you a fixed dollar amount so even if the stock falls or rises the price they gave you is the same. So your salary doesn’t f

- vote Microsoft hard offer vs. Google soft offer Technically, I already accepted the Microsoft offer and they are expecting a start date from me soon.

- Google HWE position L5 offer expectation I’ve got approval from HC and waiting for exec’s approval and initial offer. I was told my level will be 5.

- Bottom of Google L5 PM salary band same as SWE? What's the bottom of the Google L5 Total Compensation band (base+bonus+GSUs) for a PM? $250k? What's the median?

- Facebook Rejection Recently, I had an interview at Facebook. I did perfect in all 3 coding rounds. My design round was just OK. Recruiter said he got 4 positive responses from the interviewers and kind of hinted about salary conversations as he was waiting to hear back from Hiring committee. The next day he said that
- AWS interview I've been invited onsite for final rounds of interviews with AWS (non-technical). They've asked for my "expected compensation (including base, bonus and equity vesting this year)" - can anyone recommend how to respond to this?

- Advice on Expectation for TC - Google L5 SWE I've just been approved by the hiring committee at Google for a Level 5 SWE position in Seattle. While they get team matching started, my recruiter is also asking for my expected annual TC and I'd love some advice on that from the community! I have 9 YOE at NASA and I'm in a lead role on my project.
- Recruiter lowball is so frustrating After months of preparation I finally cracked the interviews of google, a couple of faangs and some startups. Got feedback from all recruiters that HC was a slam dunk as the feedback was great. Google recruiter is giving a lowball offer (260k TC for SWE L5) which is about 100K less than what I make
- Google levels / bonus Dear all, how does it work with the levels at Google for non-tech roles? What i read so far is that you start on a level assigned by HC, for example L5. Is there a natural progression? E.g. every 2 years 1 level higher? How easy (how long) is it to grow drom L5 to L6, L6 to L7, L7 to L8 and L8 t
- Facebook London E4 (Frontend Engineering) offer I just passed hiring committee! The role is Frontend Engineer E4. Recruiter said due to low headcount, hiring may be delayed.

- link Dos/Donts while filling google form for hiring committee review My Google recruiter told me that my case is being sent to hiring committee review & that followed with a link to a form.

- link Google L4 DS offer - what to ask for I've been approved by the hiring committee for an L4 DS offer. I've tried requesting that Google make an initial offer, asking for ranges e.t.c., but my recruiter is giving me basically no info on what to expect and won't back down. They want me to state my salary expectations first. Question 1: is
- Is Facebook IC5/IC6 $400k TC possible for design? So I’ve been freelancing in UX for years at $150/hr making my total salary on average $350k. I’ve freelanced for Google, Netflix, Agencies, etc. Anyway, ex-coworkers at Google got me to interview for a Staff Designer role. Just finished and waiting to hear back from hiring committee.

- Any way to slow Google offer timeline? I've gone to hiring committee and am likely to receive an offer next week, but I'm in the final stages (no offer currently) with a startup I'm strongly considering. My recruiter has told me they'll only give me 7 days to respond once she sends an offer, and there's no wiggle room or opportunity to p
- Is it smart to give a salary range? After my round of on site interviews at a mid sized company I was asked for a target salary. I told the recruiter that I'd prefer not to divulge that info but a high comp package would prompt me to cancel my upcoming interviews with other companies. He responded saying it would be in my best interes
- Google reached out to me again. Concerned about their salary and culture. Thoughts? Background: I interviewed with G a year ago before I joined Rivian. I cleared onsite and my feedback was positive. But I decided to accept my Rivian offer so didn’t move forward for team match and hiring committee. At the time, it took almost 6 months to reach team matching phase and I didn’t unders
- Google vs FB offer Non-Eng Role I have been interviewing at Google and FB for 4 months. Facebook made an offer first (no extra HC). Because of the fact that Google was taling so long, i had to accept Facebook’s offer. I’ve also worked at Facebook in a different role in the past, but I was willing to come back if it w
- Google TC Lowball ! Suggestions I got my application moved to HC, recruiter has also started the team match as well .

- A new era for Canadian tech pay? Been working for Microsoft Canada for 4 years. I don't want to move to the U.S so I knowingly took a TC hit compared to my Redmond counterparts (TC 180 cad, L62).

- at what point do you get written offers? new to the sv tech salary negotiation game. at what point does a google/fb recruiter give a written offer after hc/hm approve and how/when do I shop it around with other firms to get it bid up? is it just over phone first? do I just tell the other firm (say, netflix) that I have a verbal offer for 5
- Google Salary Response I just passed the hiring committee at google! My recruiter is asking me for a requested salary. I don't have any other offers (and hope to not have to spend the extra time/effort to get another).

- Google recruiter asking for salary requirements I just passed the HC today (at T4 think). During the call to tell me my recruiter asked for salary requirements.

- Google Negotiation I interviewed at Google this week and my recruiter wants me to talk to managers. I still probably have to pass the toughest step of HC, so an offer is still a long way. I already have competing offers from Amazon and Uber so my recruiter is acclerating the process and she wants to know more details
- Consequences of Reneging I went through the process with a few companies this last SDE job search, ended up getting the run-around from Google's HC, so I accepted a solid offer from a well-known tech company and pushed out the start date. Apparently my G recruiter was able to pull something off and I got an offer from them
- Google L4 Team Match Hi all, long time lurker. I recently went through my onsite. My recruiter was honestly kind of cagey compared to the feedback I’ve seen provided to other candidates on here.
