EDIT: Google upped offer to 280k, added more notes Narrowed it down to 3 offers, looking for insight. Google L3 Mountain View Pending team match TC: 250k -> 280k - Googles been the dream - got downleveled to L3 - with stock refesh/perf bonus, will be close to 300k after 2 years - semi-quick L4 promo due to downlevel Amazon L5 Seattle AWS AI TC: 250k - Team is exciting for career - seattle is cheapest city - zero state tax Compass Senior SWE New York City Backend TC: 350k - highest TC and leveling YOE: 5 Let me know if theres anything I can add.
Go for the one that is best for career. Google is not amazing anymore, not worth getting down leveled
Amazon! And congratulations!!!
How did you prepare? Can you please share what does your current team do at Apple?
Can you please share breakdowns? Compass is private no?
Yep they’re pre ipo. They say 2-3 years exit date
AWS or Compass. If you're good enough to be an Sr. SDE Compass, you're good to be an L4 at Google. Fuck Google.
^^ Dont worry about Google, all the reputation and crap. If you think you can handle the responsibilities of a senior at Compass, go for it. Else, go for AWS L5. I know two experienced L5s moving to google as T5. Its just about getting the right opportunities to learn and grow.
Lol that's definitely not true. There are some garbage senior developers here at compass. And given what has happened with WeWork, our valuation is way overvalued
Google is great but not worth L3. Go Amazon for step stone to other faang or Compass if you want nyc
AWS. Google is great but L3 vs L5 a joke.
Amazon L5 is Google L4
Google offer breakdown?
What is compass? It makes me curious
Real estate “tech”
Congratulations on the offers. $250K for L3 is pretty good
Thanks! Its unfortunate I got downleveled, and the recruiter tried really hard to push for it.
I understand. I got downlevelled to L3 too with 3.5 YOE. I should have pushed for L4 but I didn't have FAANG on my resume either
