I just got a call from my Google interviewer that I passed the interview for a fte and they are moving to a team match. She hasn't mentioned any levels or compensation numbers till now. Should I be worried or is it common to talk about details after a team match? What are the chances of not getting a team match in the recruitment profile? #googlerecruiter #google
Talk about compensation and leveling right now. The recruiter should be able to give you a ballpark of the comp, and the actual level you are. do it now, before you get surprised later. Well.. be ready to get lowballed and down-leveled. That's how G. works now.
Sounds good, will do thank you!
I am in the process of leaving Wayfair for Google as well. My recruiter did let me know that I was on the cusp between two levels. At the end of the day, they did give me the original level and I wasn't downleveled (this came at the very tail end of the process). Passing the interviews DOES NOT guarantee a hire. Team matching before going to Hiring Committee shows one of two things. 1.) The packet isn't strong enough to go to HC, this happens a lot of the time. Matching with your team makes your case stronger for a particular level. 2.) It sounds like more and more recruiters are looking to go to team matching prior to HC because it gives them a higher success chance. It may be a new practice that's starting (not guaranteed but its what I've heard in the rumor mill). Good luck! P.S. You won't be able to do much to counter Google's offer unless you have a competing offer. Things like pre-IPO companies are not really worth the offer since it's essentially paper money.
Thank you, this really helps!
Did you end up getting an offer? Do you mind sharing your numbers? I’m in team match phase now, but was approved for a level 5 offer. Really curious what those numbers would be.
I did. 181k base 15% bonus 404k GSU I'm remote so it will be low compared to a bay area offer
Thank you and CONGRATS! What level did you end up with?

Compensation will be discussed after team match because that’s when offers are extended, but you should definitely discuss leveling now. Should’ve done it yesterday.
Thank you! Will do!
