I received the following L4 SWE offer for Seattle (4 YOE): Base: 138K Stock: 220K Signing: 40K TC: 223K which is in the bottom 10% based on the data from the “ultimate google comp” post. I made the mistake of telling them the lowball offer I received from Amazon (150K base, 60K/50K signing, 170K stock) which they didn’t even beat. I have another offer from a non-FANG company that is a bit higher, but G needs to see an offer letter and the other company will only send it if I verbally agree to the offer. Is there any way I can recover from this? My BATNA is probably to stay in my current role (TC uncertain) even though my total comp will probably be less than my best offer, but I’m not sure if I can use this as leverage to increase my G offer
🙄
The offer is a bit low but not too low. The numbers you see on that thread are mostly for mountain view. Also, you'll probably make more at G than Microsoft because of significantly higher refreshers here even if you don't get one in your first year
That looks like a L3 offer
Dude it’s fine ur at the lower end of L4 also . I got a L4 offer at 10 yoe that was not a lot better And they refused to budge for me . You can’t expect upper end of L4 at 4 yoe
This ^.
This offer looks turrible
Verbally agree to get the letter so they will match and renign on the verbal offer. That's a bullshit tactic anyway by that company. Tell them on closer inspection of the details you found their health insurance insufficient, 401k plan fees were too high or some bs.
FWIW, I got a low ball L3 offer. Showed proof of higher offer. They didn't budge. I walked away. They never increased offer. So, just saying. Don't say you're willing to walk away unless you mean it
Sorry to hear that.
Update: G bumped up their offer based on my other non-FANG offer to 144K base, 280K stock, and 50K signing. This is still on the lower half of the range. Any suggestions for how I can improve this? I’ve started applying to other companies in hopes of higher competing offers
Lol L4 is a broad range and I would take this offer

Why is it so G*damn difficult to move money out of India
Negotiate. Be ready to step away and they will raise your offer
Any tips on negotiating? I’m definitely willing to step away from the offer in its current state
Actually demonstrate that you are willing to walk away from the offer, but at $XXX you will sign, then sign when you get it.
