155k base 15% target performance bonus for meets 320k/4 stocks 35k sign-on Feels I'm getting lowballed here.
Current level? This is a slightly lower than median L5 offer.
This would be a bump in level for me, but not in comp for sure.
Lowballed. You better go as L4 with this. TC isn't worth the responsibility. Take it from a new L5 hire myself.
What are the extra responsibilities of L5s vs L4s?
You know what, don't mind me. People have different situations. I just meant to say that offer is low for L5. As for me, it's been awkward being hired as L5 or so does my manager thinks as he has told me repeatedly. You got to be self sufficient without knowing any of Google tools. Coming in as L4 allows you to learn things but on the con side, getting promotion might be hard. So don't mind the responsibility part. Negotiate on TC.

I did. Also: Google Engineer - Total Compensation in US https://us.teamblind.com/s/jYcrij5X My offer is like bottom 1% if sign-on is not included. Bottom 10% with sign-on
Is this Bay Area?
Wow that’s only 20k over my l3 offer. (Bay Area)
OP, get counter offers. I know someone with $600k RSU offer with 6 yoe.
And it's L4. They got E5 from Facebook.
I have counteroffers in the 300k TC range and even my current Amazon TC is above 300k due to old grants and stock performing well. I'm just not optimistic I can get a decent offer now from this bottom of the barrel starting point. Google knew my expected TC was 300k even for L4 and they came up with $265k TC L5. SMH
How did you prepare for the interview any advice?
Are Google salaries in decline or I'm getting bullshitted? They're saying how this offer is good and how they doubts they can even match my other non-FANG offer or my inflated Amazon comp.
Bullshit. A couple of weeks ago someone posted his offer for L5 even with higher TC than what I posted above for myself. I think his rsu was something around 720k!
Actually this is the thread: https://us.teamblind.com/s/8sB30Lyg
What should be the numbers to go for here considering my existing offers and current comp in the $310-320k region? I really don't want to lose $50k/yr just to have Google on my resume.
All three compinents can be improved. This seems to be a L4 offer.
I think this is low for even an L4 offer.
That’s a top L4 offer tbh
