How does refreshers look like for L4 SWE for new front loaded stock vesting? Year 3 tc drop is significant. Not able to wrap my mind about how Google plan to maintain the TC! #tech #google #l4google #refreshers TC: 325K YOE: 5
Refreshers is the same regardless of your initial stock vesting schedule.
The new vesting schedule is actually designed to reduce the cliff. With the even vesting schedule we had before, refreshers caused a *huge* cliff. The cliff can still happen due to stock appreciation or if you get a really strong initial grant, though.
Yeah but what's the actual range for a refresher in a year for L4?
The target changes every year and it also depends on your performance review. 60-80k (vested over 4 years) is roughly normal I’d say for L4.
What's the eligibility for refreshers? If I join before December 31 2021, will I be eligible for refresher in December 2022 evaluation? Some people say the cutoff is December 31 2021 whereas others say its September 31 2021. So confusing. Can any Googlers help?
No idea but interested to know Googlers experience
