EB2 NIW now or EB1A later
YoE 5-6, I passed all the interviews for gcp, good team matching, even agreed on some initial TC, just to hear that hiring committee wants to offer me L3 position 😮💨 Not to mention, the whole process has been taking place since January because of their hiring freeze, and it's for their lowest pay office in Europe 🤦♂️ Thanks for nothing Google TC 80k
What's your current TC? Are you l5 now?
80k, not at AWS anymore
Did you apply for Warsaw or were they trying to force there?
Both, I applied there, but wanted to change in the middle of the process (which apparently is possible) but they kept saying that other locations don't have options at the moment
I think too many people started to do that. The Zurich office is full from what I heard and is the office with the most transfer demand. Warsaw has plenty of openings but no one wants to go there xD
If the pay is unacceptable, keep looking. Unfortunately, unlike the last several years, there are a lot more applicants than jobs so companies can pay less.
What's the TC they are offering for L3 at Warsaw location ?
The offer was around 70k USD
Are they even not willing to match your current TC ?
What's the feedback you received in your onsites ? That's usually the reason they down level if feedback is mixed.
80k for L3 in Warsaw is beyond great.
80k is his current TC, not what google is offering
What's the Google TC range for L3 SWEs in Poland?
L3 for 5-6 yoe is kind of rude but better than have an offer than not in this market
I don't know, it feels a bit insulting, and I'd rather get rejected after my technical round (if that's the issue) than spend another 2 months on these interviews and team matching
I would feel the same, depends on how keen you are to move from Amazon, move to Warsaw, and willingness to tolerate low level, patience for climbing the promo ladder. My first reaction would be decline with great prejudice, but maybe it makes sense under some circumstances, or maybe it’s just rude and there’s no silver lining and it should be rightly declined. It strikes me as classic Google arrogance, but there’s a lot of personal context on your part that could affect that perception
I’d recommend you go for it, the TC might not be much, but you’ll be able to jump into other FAANGs easier afterwards = jump on a higher level = increase TC
But OP is already is Amazon so he doesn't need google in his resume
Faang in Europe doesn't pay that much now than other companies, and below l4 you cannot really transfer internally so it's pointless to accept it and hope for promo, I'd rather leetcode over next months and reapply for l4
What's your education level? Coding bootcamp?Bachelor? Master? PhD? Try asking them for an offer at a different location?
There is nothing in Europe, only super low cost areas are hiring. Google is moving away from Western Europe. I've been trying to team match for 1y already in any West European location. Nothing. Nada.
Are you team matching for an SWE role? What level? I have seen L5 SWEs get hired in Zurich recently. So do you plan to join some low cost area or you just won't join Google?
Lol. Is google still a thing ?
Their free food is still a thing!
