Initial comp was great; refreshes are harder to get and you have no leverage
Very fragmented; too many product areas; lots of bureaucracy.

How does Google offer negotiation work in the backend? Does the recruiter go to compensation committee each time to increase offer based on what the candidate is saying?
Received L5 offer with no competing offer in hand. They refused to budge even after I told them it’s lower than my TC. Would asking any of following help or make sense? TIA! - Involve hiring manager - Delay start date to Aug after stock grant at my current company - Give up signon to get high...Read more
Anybody experienced with how this works? My current TC is fairly high due to getting into Amazon awhile back when their stock prices are low. Now that since its doubled my TC is high for what I do (300k TC) I dont believe Google can match or beat this but wondering anybody has been through this bef...Read more
Recently got offers from Google and FB in bay area, both at L5. FB is in ML/AI, Google is in general software engineer. The initial offer from FB before negotiation is low (according to the recruiter): YOE: 9 Level: L5 Base: $188k Equity: $450k Bonus: 15% Google didn't give a number at first, ask...Read more
I haven’t actually received an offer yet, but recruiter had to get special approval to beat my competing offer given the TC for the level (non-eng). Should I still negotiate on the first offer I’m given even if it beats my competing offer and already had to go through special approval? If so, with ...Read more

Hi I cleared the final rounds and expecting an offer soon. The recruiter has asked for my current salary and RSUs which I have not provided yet. How do I negotiate? Do they ask for paystubs and RSU account statements. How do they verify those documents ?

Can someone please guide on how to negotiate Google offer without a competing offer? @google #hiringprocess #offernegotiation #google
Passed the interviews for L5 SWE/SRE at Google, next is team match and salary negotiation. They asked me to give them a number first, which I find a little odd. Remote position. Should I lead with a higher number than what I expect or give them a reasonable number ($350k seems to be average for new ...Read more
Hi everyone, Just received a verbal offer from Google. Kicker is that I provided numbers for expectations first along with competing offer’s salary. Google came back with a slight beat on the salary and a miss on my GSU expectations. This job would require a move for me and relo is obviously part ...Read more
Hi Blind Expecting an L4 offer from google soon (@HCOL city). I know they tend to lowball. What can I do to negotiate up the offer to average TC band for L4 if I have no competing offer? Is this possible, or is higher band only possible with competing offers? tc 195k yoe 4.5 #google #swe #enginee...Read more
Is there any chance of losing Google offer because of multiple rounds of negotiation? I’m trying to negotiate since I know a person who joined the same team for a higher comp. I think the hiring manager is desperate to hire based on my conversation with him and also what the recruiter said. Current...Read more

Did you negotiate your Google offer? If so was the end difference material? Heard comp negotiations means comp hc needs to review again so unsure if worth it. Thanks

Just completed all my rounds for Google. Team matching process is left, so just wanted little help with offer negotiation. 1) do they have any experience mapping to what level they offer? Like I have 3 years of exp, should I press for l4 if l3 work etc will not be good enough ? 2) what base and and ...Read more
