How does Google keep up the yearly TC after 2nd year? My calculation tells me that with a yearly refreshers of 25% of 110K (is that correct?) , the TC is going to drop significantly from year 3 onwards given the frontloading and getting only 22% and 12% of initial grant in year 3 and 4. Are there any plans of Google increasing the refreshers like Meta did?
Blind tax, yoe
If by year 3-4 you've been promoted, that can help avoid the cliff
And how easy are promos from L5 to L6? Can it happen by year 3/4?
Not ez
We have stock refreshers and performance multiplier. But cliff can still happen at year 4. Also top performers at level L can make more that avarage or below avarage performers at level L+1. Tl;dr tc is not straight forward .
You will hit the cliff and many people leave around the 4 year mark because of it. I am on that path too (well I was, until the stock market and economy hit the brakes making many other places look risky atm). If you are at L3 or L4 you get a promo by then to make it up. L5 onwards thr promos get progressively harder too so no guarantees you’ll make next level comp by the time your cliff comes.
Is it typically the case that a promo adds another 4 years of stock RSUs/options?
No. You don't get new grants with promo
So how much refresher we can get at L5 considering met expectation performance at year 3 and 4
