Expected compensation at Google MTV, L3

I recently got approved by the hiring committee at Google, as L3 swe. I am currently working as research software engineer at IBM San Jose. What is the compensation I should try to negotiate for? Any tips on salary negotiation? I don't have any other competing offer. 1.5 yoe at IBM ARC, Band 9 (recently promoted), total salary $185k after promotion.

175k - 225k. Unless you had a strong performance on your interviews or other offers, I'm afraid you might get low balled. I've been seeing a lot of low ball Google offers lately...

There’s nothing lowball about 175k for L3. Given your current pay, they’ll probably offer 190k on a 4 year average, unless you had great interviews or competing offers they care about
