Have recently recieved an offer from Google, Bangalore. Just wanted to post here. yoe: 6 Had 6 onsite interviews. 2 behavioral, 3 Algo/DS, 1 System Design. One of the technical rounds didn't go quite well. The recruiter informed the same and that the rest were positive. However, he took up my packet for further consideration. Next step was team match. He had setup calls with a couple of managers. Both the calls went well. I chose one within them and informed the recruiter. He said he'd collect the feedback from the manager and forward it to the HC. After a week or so, I've heard back from him that HC had cleared my packet. Received the offer letter within a week. TC: 47 LPA. 28 + 15% + 70k USD over 4 years. I didn't have a competing offer. Not much leverage.
What’s the offer?

what was the offer?
47
Yeah. 28 base
Congratulations and welcome
Thank you
Maybe you should have negotiated a bit for a bump in the base. Isn’t there any joining bonus component?
No joining bonus. I did negotiate a little but it didn't have much impact.
How difficult were the coding questions? How did you prepared?
All are LC medium. Prepared on LC itself. Did about 100 medium and a few hard.
I think you can expect a better base.
Yeah. I thought so too. Hard luck. Couldn't complain much though, the TC is far higher than my current one and I didn't had any competing offers.
If negotiation is still on, do ask for higher base like 32/34 which seems totally reasonable to me
+1 to couchbase. You'd get the same at amazon for SDE2. Should try pushing your base salary. Also, no joining bonus?
Yeah. No joining bonus. Asked for it, the recruiter denied.
Any tips for preparation specially for System design, does LeetCode premium help ? Questions were mostly on Trees/DP/Graphs?
I’ve posted the questions on Leetcode. You should be able to find it.
