What is the starting salary for a senior staff engineer L7 at google MTV? I'm being told the range Inc 1st year rsu's and bonus is around $425k. Does that would reasonable? What negotiating room do I have and what should I ask for?
L7 swe probably around 500k-550k total comp. base about 230. Stock about a million vesting over 4 years and then bonus of 25 percent I think
500K to 1M
Hmm these numbers are higher than the range I've been given. I don't have a final offer in hand yet. Any sense as to why I'm being given a lower range?
500k l7 yearly comp sounds quite low. You can get that as an avg l6, or a really high perf l5.
But honestly hiring offer equity grants have a lot to do with where you're coming from. They'll offer exactly the minimum they think is required to make you leave what you currently have.
I worked my way up to t6 before leaving. Had promo to T7 at base 265 but wanted to build something meaningful. Fyi this was over 2 yrs ago. Maybe bands have tightened cause of new CFO
Sounds too low. Maybe they want room to negotiate? I increased an external offer 30% with negotiation...
my experience with Google recruiters has been that they expect you to negotiate and offer low initially. when I had an offer with Google last year,i was able to double the initial rsu grant. for reference, i was being offered 325k for l4
I personally know 1 Senior Engineer (T5) joined Google with an overall package of ~370K when the stock price was ~800 in 2016.
On the other hand if you promote to L5 you will be likely less than 300K range
