Google L5 pay

Any inputs on pay bands for google non-technical roles? Recruiter shared the numbers below with me, seem low based on what I have seen on Blind.. Level: L5 (non-technical) Base: $155k Equity: $120k (4 years) Bonus: 15% #google#pay i have an alternative offer at $300K and want to check the extent to which I should push the recruiter. YoE - 12

It's low to the point of offensive. (If Mt view or SF)

BCG purand OP Oct 5, 2019

This is Mountain View. I was also surprised.

Non-technical, then what’s the department? Do you have competing offers?

BCG purand OP Oct 5, 2019

Yes, $300K TC. I told this to recruiter, but he says Google won’t match or even get close

Biz-Ops in google cloud

Get some competing offers. This looks low, even given non-tech.

Yea this is low for L5, I am guessing this is some strategy and ops role

BCG purand OP Oct 5, 2019

Yes, this is Biz-Ops for cloud. I am just surprised that pay band is so low.

Google brownapkin Oct 5, 2019

Yea I am shocked too. I am L3 tech and make like 80 percent of that (which is still lower for L3)

Super low. Get a counter offer or be prepared to walk away... it also sounds more like an L4 salary since its nontechnical.

Op this is lower than your bcg pay, right?

BCG purand OP Oct 5, 2019

Yes, significantly lower. I may not have gone through the process if the recruiter told me the numbers earlier.

That’s pretty odd. I’d imagine a lot of the current members of that team were hired from mbb at your level. They can’t be all taking a big cut just to work at google...

Base looks in line. Equity might be 50-75% larger with good interview and competing offers. There should be also sign-up. Besides these, it would be hard to improve the offer at L5

Terrible offer, not worth it if google doesn’t match

Just got an offer for a L5 non-tech role also: Base: $155k Equity: $200k (4 years) Bonus: 15% Sign-on: 27k YOE: 7.5 Had a competing offer which bumped the equity up, but Google didn't match all the way.
