Evaluate Google T4 offer (Sea/Kirkland)
Base 145k Stocks 300k / 4 yrs Target Bonus 15% Sign-on 50k Years of experience 8 Sde2 @amzn aws, current TC 230k How is the offer, meh?
Everything except the base looks good. Also, the base is really important if youâre buying a house or similar. Congrats on your offer!
Hmm, isnât that just 240k total comp; only 10k more than what you make. Why do you even care to move?
Itâs 240k without sign on so thatâs worthwhile. Plus having Google on your resume is a win. OP can be there 2 years and come back to Amazon for new sign on and bump.
Sureee come back to amazon with free bananas and PIPs
So whatâs the TC per year? ~240, which is very close to what youâre making at Amazon? Sure, +50K first year... Sounds like you need a competing offer, this is typical Google.
I did have competing offers from uber, lyft, LinkedIn, Oracle. This is after letting them know the competing offers. I guess 50k sign-on is due to that .
Yeah, that makes sense, regarding the sign on. I was able to eke out a much smaller one last year without competing offers, but it wasnât included in the original offer, so I was wondering about yours. Are you saying that the others are offering even less? Do they know about your current compensation and also the Google offer?
You're at AWS moving to Google Seattle - which is basically cloud. You should be able to get more. Definitely in stock.
Yup, matched team is in cloud space.
Google seems to think their brand is important to people. In order to want to switch, you mentally put your current position and the new position on your hedonic scale. The increase in value must be perceptible. The value of the status quo (something you already have, including the comfort of knowing your environment and the people) is non-zero. So, Google thinks that: Current đ° + status quo <<< new đ° + the Google brand Since old and new đ° are about equal, they must think that Your status quo << the Google brand True? At least, for me, it isnât true, so the money aspect has to make the inequality there work.
230 is per year or over 4 years, if its per year, then your offer is very low
Not sure if Google pays same in Seattle area as bay area but in Bay area t4 goes to soft cap of 165k base and they will even go over a bit to compete when you're underleveled. Get some competing offers! FB pays the same in Seattle and bay area btw đ RSUs and signing look good but could even go up with competing (assuming they pay equivalently in Seattle as bay area)
He does have competing offers. Also, my impression was that Google also pays the same in both locales, unlike Microsoft.
Nope. Offer is 250k per year. Above average. Pretty good! Plus you should have stock award every year too.
And wouldnât the other companies give stock awards every year, too? I think Amazon does not, but the others do, no?
How much stock award does op get? Thisis a very competitive offer. I believe Google stock award is around 50k extra per year,so Iâd say total comp is around 300k
Awesome offer above median. We have an internal compensation spreadsheet to prove that, since on Blind you can sometimes see ridiculous numbers.
It doesnât make sense to switch companies for this little of a difference in pay. That is, unless the person is running away from something, or has no other options. In this case, at least one is clearly not the case. I just think Google is too arrogant and behind the times.
I really doubt anything can be worse than working for Amazon. Google is a paradise comparing to it.
Base is low
