FYI -- I already accepted and will be starting there soon. L7 SWE (Senior Staff Software Engineer) in Mountain View, CA, USA. Theoretical Physics PhD & post-doc + ~28 years' software industry experience, primarily in distributed systems, previously a Principal Software Engineer at mid-size startup. Salary $258k/yr, target annual bonus 25%, $850k in Google RSUs vesting monthly over 4 years w. no cliff (~$212.5k/yr), $50k signing bonus vesting over 1 year. Nominal total compensation ~$535k/yr, ~$585k in first year. This was a significant increase in stock and signing bonus from their first verbal offer. Google application & team fit process took ~6 months, but I was in no particular hurry.
Helpful and informative, thanks!
Wow are you almost 60 now? When FIRE?
What was their first offer?
Congrats!
I thought Google L7 should be in 700-900 range.
Good offer. I would like to know more about the experience you have.
Seems really low for L7 SWE. I thought that’s a good L6 offer.
What kind of theoretical physics did you study? I also studied physics in undergrad, but couldn’t get into grad school :(. I liked elementary particles though.
Congrats. 🎉 30 years of exp ?? How did you survive ?
Why? Are you going to die in your colleague's arms ?
