I have been at Google for more than 2 yrs and am a Senior Hardware Engineer. The 2022 comp letter states a total comp of $290k (173k base + 33k bonus + 84k stock refresh for 4 yrs). Based on my past equity grants if I check prosper (the internal tool for viewing your comp), my TC is around 425k for 2022 at today's stock price. This is due to GOOGL stock growth and may/may not sustain for 2023 onwards. My unvested equity today is at around $450k for the next 4 years. If I am thinking about changing jobs, how should I think about my expected pay from the new employer based on the above pay data? I am struggling to think on what is the baseline here on which I put a raise %. #google #tech
Hardware engineers can make that much? Why would you ever want to leave ๐
LOL Fr, they usually get paid way less at other companies
I think hardware in Google pays in the range as mentioned in the post
Just look at your W-2,right?
I think your current comp should not matter for a move other than setting a lower bound. That would be your w2 value - dollar value for trade off of some benefit elsewhere compared to Google. But the better way is to make a projection for each year till four years from now and compare the difference. Were you to leave Google for job X how would your net worth compare 1, 2,3 and 4 years from now. You can go higher than 4 if you have the foresight and information. Hope that helps
Consider your current comp.
You mean the $425k stock growth included comp?
Yes
