I have the following offer for a staff SWE position on a Google Cloud team in Seattle. Base: $205K Bonus: 20% Equity: $600K (36/28/20/16) Sign on: $20k Y1 TC: around $480 Y2 TC: around $415 I was expecting a little more for L6 but I am not feeling super motivated to go get counter offers. I am talking to an FB recruiter about scheduling a loop (passed screen already) but it has been a couple months since my Google interview so my Leetcode game is not up to snuff. If I did interview at FB it would only be to get more comp from Google. Any risk of telling my Google recruiter I want to go interview at FB? Any chance they would bump it up without me actually doing the interview? How reasonable is this offer for Google L6?
Pretty similar to most modern L6 offers. Generally Google offers a 20% premium for people in the Bay, which is why it isn’t quite as high as what you can see on Blind. FB will pay more. Up to you to decide if you want to grind it out.
My L5 offer was better
Facebook E5 can beat this offer with 205/700/100, let alone E6. ICT5 at Apple can go up-to 220/800/100 as well. Google is low balling as if they don't care anymore.
Curious about apple ict5, is it equivalent to l6/e6 (I mean widely recognized across the industry). I heard AI track is higher, what will be the range of that?
Yeah but you will get a stock of a dying company, $FB haha. Decide based on your bet for $GOOG
Yoe? Level at msft ?
10 YOE(only 3 of those at MS) I am an L66
Wait what, only 3 of those?
Are you sure this is L6 not L5? Base like low end of l6, but equity like high of l5, definitely not in the l6 range. You may easily ask for 30% more equity if not more.
Equity is median L5 . Sign on is low as well
Yeah this is 100% L6. I even got the sense my recruiter thinks the equity is low. My initial offer was even lower than this. Recruiter went back to the comp team once and now they are saying “this is as high as we can go without more information.” I feel like I probably made it clear I was too enthusiastic to join Google so they are confident I won’t pass. I just hate this negotiation BS. Feels more like buying a car than joining a company.
I got an L6 offer for NYC a few months ago w/12 yoe , original was 220k base/20% bonus (standard and non negotiable for L6)/600K stock/ $0 sign on. I negotiated up to 230k base and 659k stock. Still no sign on. I imagine Seattle is slightly lower CoL than NYC? So you can probably get them up to 210-215k base, and 650-700k stock just by asking. I turned down a competing offer from FB in favor of G (G recruiter knew about the offer) because I didn’t agree with how they were handling certain social things around Kenosha and whatnot, but that’s a personal choice. You can try to get an offer from them if that doesn’t bother you.
@goog did you have to team-match at G before recruiter discussed comp numbers? was it the same thing at Fb, meaning they required team-match before discussing numbers?
Yes I team matched at G before HC so before talking comp numbers, at Facebook I didn’t team match they talked comp right away
My L5 was higher
My L5 offer in California was 190 base, 830k equity, 50k sign on. So definitely your offer is at the lower end of L6.
Super lowball, just inform your recruiters and let them wait while you get other offers.
