Bay Area. This is post negotiations with Google. I strongly prefer the team and project I’d be working on at Google.

    Google benefits are like an extra 20k post-tax (rough estimate, depends on whether you cook or DoorDash most of your food normally) so ~35k pretax. That brings the difference to 35k a year, pretax (so like 20k post-tax). Up to you whether you wanna take the risk of PIP for an extra 20k in your pocket.

    Also remember Amazon target TC is fake. Assumes 15% growth. If the stock performs well, you won’t get refreshers. If the stock does poorly, you won’t see any fix until 1-2 years later.

      I’ve heard about this happening. I did my calculation by just multiplying the share count by ~3k and applying the vesting schedule. Assuming no stock growth i’d by right around 400 y1-y4

    Op, what’s your prep strategy? How many LC questions? Any tips for Google L4 interview?

      I think it’s around 175ish 🤷‍♂️ I did their “pay later program” where you get credit and only pay after you get a job… so I’m gonna have to pay them about $1k pretty soon

    IMO comp difference isn’t that much. Long term comp wise L4-> L5 at google is a lot easier than L5 -> L6 at Amazon
