With offers from Google and Facebook, how likely / closely would Google match Facebook’s higher offer? 1st year vs after. Google’s first year always looks better because of the frontload RSU vesting schedule: 33% 33% 22% 12%

Yoe: 12
current TC 550

  • Google can't match FBs salary if the levels are same!

    It's very rare that they would match, for instance you outperformed in Google's interview but got lean hire in FB

    G will match y1/y2 but FB will start to pull away y3/4 when you consider stacked refreshers

      OP
      Do you know how Google refresher works? Does it mean Googlers have to seek out after year 2?

      G refreshers are slightly lower than FB - the idea is that your TC a remains the same over 4 years, whereas it will continue to grow with FB.

      G will stay pay more than market avg (assuming you didn’t get lowball to begin with) at y3/4, so only TC chasers will need to move out

    I was in the same boat a month back.

    Got L5 from both the conpanies. G was not able to match even after providing Fb’s offer letter

    100% unlikely that G will match FB offer for same level after year 1/2 unless you have some exceptional skills in your domain.
