After months of interview and negotiations, Google gave me a final offer which is significantly lower than what I asked for. These are the final numbers Base - 215, 15 % target bonus RSU - 415 for 4 years( 33/33/22/11 split) I find it frustrating because this is even lower than what I have received (and accepted) few years back at L4 level. Has the hiring budget for Google reduced given the current market downtrend ? One of thing that was different this time was I team matched after the interviews (vs last time when I interviewed after a team expressed interest). Wondering how much of the role hiring org has in determining the comp. Current TC 450 YOE 11

Is 2.5M enough to retire in Bay Area?
Well obviously they are trying to save money. Are you ICT4? What’s your current tc?
415k rsu per year I am assuming ?.. isn’t this offer higher than your current TC ?
L4 is not getting that much though
There are some Google new grads who get like 70% of your offer lmao
Op is not a new grad. Why do you compare?
@abnb, it's to say this is a shit offer
Google is not competitive anymore

Anymore**
when you say you rejected their offer, does it mean that you accepted another offer from some other company?
No offer accepted yet , a couple got rescinded (or put on hold as the recruiters said) … both were better than this
My L5 offer from Google was very close to this. I had a significantly higher E5 offer from Meta. I shared it, still Google didn't revise the offer.
Is goog still hiring for L5? Can you give some system design prep tips
Not sure if anything changed recently. My process started few months ago. DDIA is a good book to go through but apparently I didn’t do too well on those too
Thanks. I have gone through the important chapters of DDIA but it is still not helping me much. Anything else you can advise?
Its lower than L5 amazon with 2yoe.
What were you looking for
A miracle
