Google India L4 offer

Jan 11, 2021 154 Comments

I have recently received an L4 offer from #Google India.
Base: 26.5 lpa
Stock: 70000USD
Bonus: 15%
Yoe: 7

Edit: after a round of negotiations here is the updated breakup :
Base 33lpa
Stock:77000USD
Bonus:15 %
Joining bonus: 300000

Current CTC:35


Accepted offer:
Base:38
Stock:150k USD
Bonus:15%
Joining bonus: 5 lacs

I already have an offer of 50 lpa fixed and 10 lpa bonus from Goldman.

What do you guys think, it seems they are low balling me.

Also I need to pic between google pay and Goole cloud teams? Any insights between the 2 will be much appreciated.

      True, and the strangest part is he is the highest paid CEO in the world. He takes on money to low ball his employees!

    How does this match your GS offer ? Google offer looks pretty shit to me. if people keep accepting these lowball numbers despite having good offers, the situation will never improve. Not so prestigious anymore in my opinion if they can't pay people their worth after an excruciating interview and competing offer.

      It's not the tech people who are impressed by Google. It's the laypeople, and unfortunately that includes recruiters and HR.

      All the debriefs i have attended at Uber, i have never seen someone getting an offer just because they are from FAANG.

    This is hard lowball, better to join Goldman.

      There is a reason why they need to pay better than Google (though yes, Google seems to be low-balling too)
      GS = Legacy tech + long hours + too much politics/nepotism + incompetent leadership + constant reorgs/unstable long term goals for Tech.

      Working at both GS and Amazon. My experience at GS was infinitely better than Amazon in terms of work and team culture and how the company treats the employees. The pay in India was very good too, better than FAANG and my work hours were like 6-8 hrs daily and absolutely no work on weekends, not even on-call. On-call was always business hours on-calls, so no pages at midnight. The only thing that sucked was the legacy code. BTW I was in a strat role.

    Wtf offer is this. I have an interview coming up and I don't know if it's putting so much effort now to try get into Google. I thought for L4 you cannot get less than 45L base. What's your current base?

  • Wth, this is too low.
    Didn't you tell them about the GS offer?

    • I did, and they said they will match it. These are the numbers the recruiter gave me. Yet to receive a doc with final details. Still trying to negotiate. The recruiter is trying to feed me lots of bs around google perks and brand

    • The next number you'll get won't be final either even if they call it.
      It will probably be in 40s.
      Ask them to touch 55 in any case since you have enough exp to be an L5.
