Does Google do comp corrections if you are brought in at a lower TC?
I feel my T4 SWE offer is low, especially the equity. I want to accept it because it will help me get into FANG and keeping long term career growth in mind, this would be good. I want to ask current and Ex Googlers here if at year end, Google fills the equity gap if you get hired at a low equity grant? If I join and maybe a few months in the job, assuming I do well, have a comp conversation with my manager, do they entertain? How do I go about this situation? Offer below: Base: 150k Sign on: 30k Equity: 180k/4 Annual Bonus: 15% Location: SF YoE: 5 Level: T4
No. You already have a good base. So expect that to grow slow as well. For RSUs redreshers, it has nothing to initial RSUs. BTW bonus is 15% not 20.
Sorry meant the equity gap. Updated the post. And thank you for your response.
I see. The answer is no. Good part is you won't hit 4 years cliff this way.
Why woukd they? The point of giving you a 4 year equity and telling you up front your base pay is because that's what you get. Gotta move.positions or company to make any notable difference. No company will adjust you just because you think you deserve more or accepted a low ball offer if it even is one. If you think it's low, give reasons and negotiate, otherwise accept your level and work for a promotion or job change
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, moving up or jumping companies is an alternative.
Seems Google is low balling these days. I got a 160/30/380 L5 offer after negotiating.
380 >> 180 :) what's your YOE?
L5>L4 10+
