I joined Google early this year. I realized that most my previous co-workers either kept their level or got promoted when they transferred to Google. I was the only one who got downgraded. Eventually I became same level as the person who was 2 levels under me in previous work. It really bothers me ...Read more

Started interviewing because of shit pay and no promo, and have the following offers. Feel like I’m being severely lowballed — does anyone have any ideas? I have decent work life balance and don’t hate my job — but the pay is peanuts. I thought that other companies pay better, was i wrong? I was t...Read more
The increase is not enticing enough to switch and build from scratch while toiling at the current version of Meta. What do you all think?
There are tons of future Noogler waiting in line to join Google and post pic with Noogler hat and confetti. “This was my dream gmail ->; google.com” Now it makes sense. Completely makes sense. Please “comment for better reach” or “++” 🤣🤣🤣 #futureNoogler #linkedin
Some companies like Amazon offer a great stock grant (250k USD over 4 years) at SDE2 And then there is Walmart. Offered me $5500 vesting over 4 years at L72. And this is in Bentonville. Anybody else offered such low RSUs as a part of "talent retention" ? (and before you say $5500 is for entry lev...Read more
There are companies out there offering lowball 500K or less to engineers with 15 years of experience at L6/L7+ levels. These are the people spending their lives in dark rooms staring at a screen where all others are having fun with business trips and fancy work dinners. Now, their sacrifice is rewar...Read more
They got an offer, but it’s much lower than levels. Edit: Offer is in HCOL area (NY/SF) It appears they were downleveled to IC4 (even though the recruiter had said senior)

YoE 5-6, I passed all the interviews for gcp, good team matching, even agreed on some initial TC, just to hear that hiring committee wants to offer me L3 position 😮💨 Not to mention, the whole process has been taking place since January because of their hiring freeze, and it's for their lowest pay...Read more
Gave an amazing interview, recruiter comes back gives me a verbal offer: ~340 K. I tell him that I would like them to reconsider and give another 2500 RSU. Recruiter asks the hiring manager and then tells me it is an exception and they are working on it. A few days later they come back with a numb...Read more
Is the offer from MSFT even worth consideration? Currently at Intel G9, 9 YoE MS is lowballing in every segment. Offer is for 64 which is equivalent to G8. I want to switch jobs but don’t want to go to lower level. Few points to consider: - current compensation is after 5% pay cut. - I am a hig...Read more

Currently, L6 at Amazon, and want to move. Have been interviewing for staff+ level roles. The offers seem lower than what I was expecting. Is the market so down or just me being lowballed? Offers (negotiations in progress) Uber - 560K LinkedIn - 490K TC: 430K Seattle Yoe 9
HM asked my salary expectation and I said 130k. The range for the role is up to 167k Is it possible to negotiate in later stages? This was the first round.
Recruiter told me salary range for 3-5 years experience is 140-150k. That sounds very low for the current market. It’s a shame because Mongo seems like a great company.
