I have an L5 offer from google Mountain view for SWE ML
180k base, 710k RSU, 50k sign on bonus
TC: 385k and sign on

E5 Fb - in Seattle for SWE ML
185/680/50k sign on
TC: 383k

Thoughts on negotiation? Considering MV cost of living is much higher, will Google go up in their offer? Or do they only match the total TC?

      OP
      I think for E5/L5 you need to show that you can operate independently (under ambiguity) and be a leader, provide mentorship. In the behavioral round, they want to know how you handle collaboration and confrontation. Have examples that demonstrate emotional intelligence (you can diffuse a confrontation), initiating collaborative efforts across orgs by creating a "buy-in" value for collaborators (what's in it for me?). Always present positive examples, even though they say they wanna know the lessons you learnt, they never really want to hear you failed.

      For system design, I can't really help. Mine was mostly ML System design and it's not particularly hard if you've been working in ML for a while. But one vital tip - once you go back and forth and understand requirements, you should completely drive the system design and walk them through it. Lead them to areas you're confident about and talk about tradeoffs of course. Think out of the box, every aspect of the system is movable (hardware, software etc). Good luck!
