Got an offer from Google for SWE position in SF. I'm not a CS Major, came from Biology Major and worked 3.5 years in Pharma Industry. What are your thoughts on this? Is it good for entry position and my 'experience' level? I currently make 90k as a Lab Information Management Systems (LIMS) Integrator at KPMG and live at home in San Diego.
Wow pharma to google. Respect! Congratulations. What was the interview like ?
It was 2 phone interviews and then 4 on-site interviews. There was a lot of coding involved, but I got through it. I spent a lot of time on LeetCode and CTCI, but I think the most important thing was to keep calm, speak about my thoughts, approach, and logic, and present the solution in an eloquent manner.
Pretty good. Congrats.
LIMS Integration for Pharma.
What language did you use? Good work with the transition.
I used Java as most LIMS systems utilize it.
Isn’t this low for a new grad offer? New grads here are getting 160K total comp. Bay Area.
Hm, I already tried negotiating, but I couldn't get an increase.
Google is fucking you. Too low
What should I be looking at for a good range?
My friend got 112 / 15 / 100. He negotiated up to 116 / 25 / 135 with MSFT offer. It'll be hard to get Google to budge without a top tier offer, and if they do, it'll probably be on RSUs.

Sounds like standard new grad offer from last year.
Standard new grad was 135 gsu if I'm not mistaken
You’re right, which at grant price was around $110k.
