Hey Blind! Google L6 PM offer in the bag Base:210k Bonus :20% RSU: 800k over four years Sign on: 40k Here are some insights if you’re prepping for google. 1 - Each interviewer will jump around focus areas, so be able to pivot from PS, to Ex to Strategy very quickly and with a clear structure. 2 - Even though the comp sci area was removed, the interviews are still quite technical compared to other companies. Be ready to think deeply about technical problems. 3 - You have to be ON for every interview. If you feel yourself drifting from a great structured answer, pause and navigate your way back. I recovered a poorly answered question in the last five minutes. 4 - There’s an emphasis on L&D now, so have your examples ready in a STAR format. 5 - Estimation will be involved directly or indirectly. Brush up on napkin math. 6 - PS questions tend to crop up more than once, so nail down your framework for answering those repeatedly. 7 - Strategy questions are a big part of the interview, so have a clear framework for those. Some interviewers might spend the whole 45min on those, some might asked mixed questions that have a strategic component. You really do need to score at least 4/5 on every interview. Don’t get psyched out if they ask you to redo one. That’s common. You can dm me for resources to help with prep too!
Product alliance? This gives you 600k+ year 1 YC which seems unlikely
Also suspicious of product alliance astroturfing but that offer is completely reasonable.
Do you know how to do math? Year 1 TC is $492k 210kx1.2+200+40=492
Did you negotiate OP? What location? Thanks for sharing your story!
What is year 1 and year 2 TC with refreshers and the odd vesting schedule? Also, what location?
Congrats! What are the refreshers like?
Do they have big emphasis on domain knowledge?
Another ads from those interview prep companies
This is some fantastic insight.
Thanks and congratulations!! Can you also provide more tactical details such as how you prepared, how long, what resources worked for you etc
Interested as well
Congrats OP. Google is lucky to have you if you are such a kind of person who would like to help people this way
