Should I be satisfied with this Google L5 offer and stop negotiation? Especially given my yoe and background Base: 200k RSU: 550k Bonus: 15% Sign-on: 0 Background: cs bachelor + 3.5yoe Other offers: still waiting for doordash L5 onsite result #offer #google #googlel5 #doordash
Why no sign on?
I asked the recruiter to maximize for equity
Why? Is there a reason to do it? Sign on you see the money as soon as you join. Equity well take another 4 years. You can always buy stocks with your sign on. I just told a recruiter I would prefer sign on instead of stocks.
Good for 3.5 yoe. Mediocre for L5
What's the top band like?
how did you pull L5 with just 3.5 yoe? What level are you at LinkedIn?
What’s your background exp like to get L5 at 3.5 YoE?
I'm on core infra team and can do system design interviews 😛 not sure which one matters more
Would be easier to negotiate once you'll have a competing offer from door dash. So wait for those results at least
Google downlevels people with 10 YOE to L4. Amazing you got L5 with 3.5
OP you're not asking for advice, you just wanted to brag at the awesome offer 😂 Take your offer and gtfo lol
Happy for you OP, But with your experience, please make sure you are good senior engineer , because it is much more than just solving some algorithm questions no matter how hard they are and toy system design problems. As a senior , you have the potential to help other engineers become seniors themselves. Congratulations.
Thx for the advice 🙂
Damn L5 at 3.5 yoe. I joined FB E5 with similar yoe as yours but Google rejected me for L4. Lol
pretty good for 3.5 yoe
