Not mine, a friends whose wondering about offer eval. Not gonna lie, pretty jealous Google L4: 170K base 225k/4 stock 15% bonus 5k signon 1.5 YOE Guess I should start leetcoding again My TC: 168K YOE: 3 years #google
Seems kinda high for L4.
True

looks low
Which location?
It is you
High
Peanuts. Amazon is paying 350.
For an equivalent level?
Yeap…L4 maps to SDE2 so yes.
Tbh I thought it was pretty good cause the level and numbers for 1.5 YOE
My new grad TC was higher than this
At what company? Very few companies would give a new grad >250K. Only ones I know of are trading firms.
Stripe, Airtable, Brex, Google (w/ negotiating offers)
Good for 1.5 yoe, but not for l4 Have seen l3 up to 250k + 50k sign on
how did he get a L4 interview with that YOE?
No idea. Guess Google thought he killed the interview
If you insist, recruiter can arrange the interview to evaluate candidates as L4, and tell them it’s going to be more difficult. But, there is no much difference between L3 L4 questions… As long as no interviewer raise concerns about level, it should be usually fine. (I don’t think they really need to kill it if that happens, which is not rare)
