I am currently an L5 in amazon (SDE) who just got approved by Google Hiring Committee for L5 (Sr. SDE). The recruiter asked me to provide a salary expectation. As per recruiter, got very good feedback from HC so team matching should be quick. What is the usual realistic comp range for L5 in google? Based of levels.fyi median median comp is around 375k in seattle area. Will it be realistic to provide a salary expectation of around $400k? i do not have any competing offer so do not have much room for negotiation. Any other tips to negotiate will be helpful. current total comp at amazon: $250K YOE: 9 (3 yrs at AWS) #google #softwareengineer #softwareengineersalary #l5google
The upper limit would look like this in Seattle area Base 185k Stocks 850K, sign-on 100k It’s easier to get more stock than more base. This offer would be hard to get without any competing offers.
wait you got uplevelled? How'd you do it?
Good fucking shit op. Good job getting up leveled at G instead of down leveled. This proves to everyone who complains that G only down levels people that it’s not G, it’s your interview performance. Super awesome!
Thank you :)
Not without competing offer. Especially if you interviewed for gcp. Sorry. Expect around 300k.
280 will likely be their first offer. JUST SAY NO! :) Then tell them: 500k or bust! Be prepared to tell them to go F themselves.
With the level up it will be difficult to say no and I am sure recruiters know it as well. Promo from L5 to L6 in Amazon is really hard
What was your final offer? I’m in the same situation now and trying to figure out if I should negotiate
Hey, I am interviewing with G soon, did you get an offer for G L5? And are you L5 now? 😊 congratulations
Hey op what was your offer?
Hey Op, what was the final Offer ?
How’d you get Google to up level you?
At start of the process I asked recruiter to set me up for L5 loop since I had 9 years of experience. I then pretty much nailed system design and behavioral interviews (personal perception)
Any system design prep tips/resources?
