Top L4 offer. Congrats!

LinkedIn TedR71 OP May 5, 2021

Thanks!

From experience, L4 goes way higher than 275K. But bands are quite wide in terms of experience. That number sounds great to me for just 3 years out of school.

Wow That's a really high l4 offer Well into the l5 territory! Congrats!

Google ov3hyg May 5, 2021

Did you have competing offers?

Amazon random8/ May 5, 2021

Damn that’s as much as my l5 offer

LinkedIn TedR71 OP May 5, 2021

Isn't L4 10% bonus?

Google Qlan May 5, 2021

That’s at Facebook. At Google L3-5 gets 15%, L6 25%, L7 30%.

How is vesting schedule? I heard Google is trying some weird vesting schedules recently?

Google Ǝ⅃ӘOOӘ May 5, 2021

Seems like it’s back to equally vested. It was an experiment for last year.

LinkedIn TedR71 OP May 5, 2021

Equally vested. A friend recently joining got front loaded beating schedule.

How long did the team match process take? How many teams have you talked to during the process?

LinkedIn TedR71 OP May 5, 2021

I talked to 2-3 teams over 3 weeks. Google's process took so long.....

Google WzIN82 May 5, 2021

Better than my l5 TC. Time to leave Google.

LinkedIn TedR71 OP May 5, 2021

Do you know the band for L5? Recruiter did not mention if this offer is also in L5 band.

Google WzIN82 May 5, 2021

In premium plus locations such as bay area and nyc, lowest l5 should be 174k base.

Google bsdocs May 5, 2021

Awesome
