Got an offer from Google for L4 (remote or Sunnyvale) and recruiter asking to provide numbers. I am planning to choose remote option but can go for Sunnyvale if the difference is significant. I am currently located in Austin. Can you please help me with the numbers?

I already have an Amazon, Austin offer.

Amazon offer:
Base: 157k
First year sign on: 80k
Second Year sign on: 70k
Stocks: 53 (around 184k)
tc: 245k

Yoe: 7.5

    I would ask for 175 base, 100 equity, and like 25 bonus. That’s a high L4 though

      100/yr lol. Might as well ask for the sun, the moon, and the stars on a silver platter.

    Beware that Google recently announced about a 25% pay cut for remote employment

      There is no special "remote pay cut," but you get paid the local market rate for your working location if you are working remote long term. In Austin, this would mean the comp for working remote would be the same as the comp in the Austin office (which would generally be lower than comp in the Sunnyvale office).

      This also makes replying to the recruiter with a single expectation pretty tough. But, if you explain your decision process to them, they might be able to help work through what offers at similar positions in the band would look like in the two locations.

    Just say that we should start with median L4 numbers. You should already have access to that.
