I am E5 and got Amazon SDE3 offer and Google L4. Google is lowballing. Offer is: $165k/$400k/$30k = $290k TC Amazon offered: $330k TC. I am currently E5 making $360k TC ($188k base). I gave Google recruiter my paystub as she didn't believe my base and waiting to hear back. Can Google match my compensation? Or is it just a waste of time..
But why go to Google at l4.. sde3 and e5 both are higher levels
And sde3 could be e6 at fb. Do not take l4 google offer, ask higher level.
Sde3 = e5. Even sde3 can barely match e5 pay
Google didn't take my above-market current comp into consideration. They should at least be able to match your amazon's offer though
That sucks, I suggest stay at FB
Yeah, why leaving?
Don't take a pay cut, not worth it
Yup. Paycut + level cut at the same time is not worth it. I have lyft lined up ahead.
I would think Google at same salary at l4 is also not worth it
Doesn’t look like a good Google offer. Bit surprised, Amazon offer is higher than Google albeit for one higher level. I would stay at FB. Lyft probably will pay more though a lot of it will be paper money but I have heard they have interesting projects.
That’s a decent L4 offer, tbh. How many yoe?
9+ yrs exp: 2 at FB, 4 at MSFT. 3+ at no-name companies.
Google is low balling you hard.
I saw G offering $170k base and 600 GSUs for some people here on blind. You could try that? Also, I'm not sure if that's a real offer because it sounds too high for L4.
Maybe I messed up one or more interviews (very possible)
Don't take a pay cut, it's definitely not worth it unless you've your own reasons
Why would Google downlevel you? Reject and try again in 6 months.

It can.. if Google really wants you
This But also keep in mind there’s a ton of folks who’d accepted your offer on a spot and work even harder. So G can afford to be picky.
