I already have an offer from one of FAANLDU after verbal yes and Google matched it, just little higher. 145, 300, 60 for L3 MTV. I have 3 YOE after bachelors if that matters. This is not very high from Google as stocks can go higher but at Google refreshers are guaranteed. Any tips on negotiating? What kind of TC growth I can expect with/without promotion at Google, since GOOG is not appreciating?
Shut the f up and take the offer
100% take the offer
How do you predict Google stock is not appreciating in the future? People also predicted Amazon stock was not appreciating in 90s.
It doesn’t like since last 2 years.
GOOG is up 40% from 2 years ago, and that's after the recent slide.
What's D in FAANLDU?
Dell?
Dropbox
I came in at this offer last year. Got promo in 2 cycles. 22% bonus and two 6% increases in salary from merit and promo. Salary is now 160. Nooglers r not modeled for refresh on year they join. I got a small one at director discretion of around 25k over 4 yrs
You came in as L3 or L4? You mean first 6% increase after 6 months? What were your ratings? Sorry for asking too many questions. Someone told me since 145 is high for L3 band don’t expect any increase in base till promo to L4.
Yes it was an L3 offer and I got the merit increase 8 months in (year end) which bumped it to 150. Then promo this april which bumped to 160. You should take the offer, but I do regret coming in as L3 because it's likely that I would've been at L5 by now with the work I did had I come in at L4. If you can live with peers/younger folk being higher level than you then it's a great offer.

Why is it so G*damn difficult to move money out of India
Wow, that's a good offer for L3. Looks like L4
Yeah thanks, but there are so many other L3 offers on Blind with 2-3 YOE after masters and stocks around 350, sign-on around 75. I got A rating from HC according to recruiter but Google said they can not exceed this offer. I know ~10k per year wouldn’t make that much of difference but stock appreciation is bad.
Your offer does seem L4 to me (L4 myself) and the blind ones you refer to seem L5
