Google vs Box

Jan 12 10 Comments

Google L3 — 230-250k

Box Senior — 260k-280k

YOE: 4
Current tc: 230k

I really want to work at Google, unsure on Box and haven’t been able to collect a ton of data points even after team matching so any opinions would be great.

    I'd highly recommend not joining as an L3 at 4 yoe just for the prestige.

    Promos take really painfully long and you'd be stuck at L3 for most probably another 2 years if you come here. Just go to Box or other firm and interview later for L5 with 6 yoe.

      On the promotion point, that's not true. @OP join Ads, and you will get promoted at a rapid rate. Most of the L5-L6 promos take 2 years in our team

    If you really wanna go based on tc, calculate your tc growth over the next X years and compare. X=how many ever years you think you would stay at that place.
    And while fitting in as an L3 with 4YoE may look daunting, trust me, there are way many senior L4s at Google and its a very nice place to work at. Everyone's super-cool. It all comes down to *your ego*.
    Also, some teams at G have a much faster growth (like Ads) compared to others, so you gotta decide based on that too.
