Currently between Google L5 and Meta E5 offers.
Google Initial:
200k base
535k RSU 33/33/22/12
30k sign on
15% bonus
TC: 406k/406k/347.7k/294k (ignoring sign on)
Google adjusted (rebuttal to Meta’s offer below):
205k base
550k RSU 33/33/22/12
60k sign on
15% bonus
TC: 417k/417k/356.75k/301.75k (ignoring sign on)
Meta:
205k base
725k RSU
60k sign on
15% bonus
TC: 417k (ignoring sign on)
Overall feel that I’m being lowballed by Google even after the adjustment. They basically just looked to match the first 2 years of Meta comp and then argued that refreshers would make up for the rest of the difference which I highly doubt.
Looking for some advice on where the best place would be to go based on these numbers. Seems there’s more room for negotiation on both sides but I imagine not much.
Current TC: ~ 320k
YOE: 3.5
Edit:
Got final offers from both, ended up going to Meta based on the helpful insight here and the ultimately better offer with Meta.
Google:
205k/725k/60k
TC: 477k/477k/395k/323k
Meta:
209k/800k/95k
TC: 440k

It absolutely doesn't make sense, Meta E5 refreshers are also much much higher than G.
People are getting L3 left and right with 3.5 yoe.
How did you pass the system design rounds? Lol.
Google if you’re froogle (you’ll get paid less but also chill more).
