Uber is offering north of 400k. Can google l4 match that? Any tips on how to angle?

    No, google l5 can barely match that by shifting the vesting schedule forward.

      We’re hurting for good engineers. I don’t think there will be another layoff since attrition is pretty high right now (>20% a year at the moment). Mostly people who’ve been here a while are tired of waiting for the stock to go up. Plenty of opportunity

    Nope. I’m guessing you were down leveled? I guess you could get to 300k+ with competing offers and cross fingers and hope GOOG doubles again in 1 year (unlikely). Or just take a better offer that’s not G because, honestly, it’s overrated

      I have 3 yoe so was only considered for l4 at google. Uber offer looks like it could even get close to 500 first year. But the google team is insanely cool. 🤞

      Uber offered you a senior SWE role at 3 YOE? (L5a or whatever they call it now). That is very interesting :) I remember a few years back they were down leveling G L6s to L5b. Either way good luck with whichever route you go
