The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
$200k TC offer for SWE L3 at Google, 3 YOE. I know levels.fyi says L4 would be ~$265, but I don't know if that is accurate for those who get promoted versus those who come in at L4, is ~$265 to be expected once promoted?
WTF. One step at a time there buddy.
Nothing wrong with looking at future earnings.
You don’t even work there yet!
You won't get that bump when you promote only new hire
Alright, so what bump could I expect upon promotion then?
Bump from 3 to 4 is like 6% or 13k, whichever is higher
Yoe?
3
Can you split that TC?
5k sign on, 115k salary, 250k stock, 15% bonus
Ok. So base would go upto 140-145ish. Bonus remains the same. Refresh would be 80-100k
Can you briefly talk about your onsite experience? Curious about broad topic / difficulty.
It was mostly leetcode mediums, one maybe leetcode hard. Half were tree/recursion based, one was system design.
Huh, you got a system design round for L3? Did your recruiter tell you to expect one?
Once you're in you will be able to see a spreadsheet with the numbers :) but that L4 TC seems about right
OP are you SDE 2 in Amz?
Yep
@Sde-π, would you be able to answer a few questions if I DM you?
If you have a competing offer that is more than 280k, i heard you can push up to 250-260k range. But if not, the highest i’ve heard for L3 is 220k. Also depends on the yoe. How many yoe?
No, my offer is currently L3 @ 200k, the question is what could be expected at promo to L4.
Yes i know, im just saying since seems like the offer is still fresh, there’s still some room for negotiation just to close some gap as a new hire vs. The 265k number you quoted
