Hi blind community

I'm a L4 at Google India and received internal transfer offers from MTV, NYC and Zurich.

There are no stock changes in new offer, just base pay change (bonus automatically changes as it's 15% of base)

TC comes around ~ 210K USD / 200K CHF which is way low for L4 G looking at blind community. (Additional one time taxable 18k for relocation)

Internal transfers have :
1. Non negotiable clause.
2. Transfer on L1 / Non-EU B permit which don't allow switching companies

What's the best way to maximize TC going forward ?
- can't go MS route because need income to support family and the cost + opportunity cost of doing a MS doesn't make sense
- Not specifically inclined towards a domain, happy with general SWE work

Which countries / companies can one apply directly without having work visa ?

TC: 60 LPA (85 K USD) , YOE : 3

    What is the condition to get international transfer in google. Do you have any mandates like the person should be of a particular level to apply for international transfer or the person should have X years of experience?????

      At least 1 yr of work with your current team , no level restrictions.
      Some countries may have additional restrictions on work visa , for ex Zurich requires 3 yoe but US doesn't

    Where did you decide to move in the end? And how has been your experience so far.

    No company will give you a job on L-1 visa. Be ready to be paid miserly for 2+ years until you get lucky in the H1B lottery.
