Mgr comp and scope?

An L5 here at Goog. 400k+ TC given stock growth, 13 years work ex. Was pinged for manager position at Splunk. How's the culture? Can they match my comp? What is the opinion of current employees? As anywhere I'd guess it depends on the team/org, but still any overall input would help. Thanks.

Are companies hiring Manager without prior manager role? I assume you have a good team lead role right now ?

Doubt it man. They will probably pay 200k TC

Don’t assume. Don’t spread rumors.

200k will be just base most likely. Plus 20% bonus and stock.

Compensation is not an issue for the right candidate.

Compensation shouldn’t be a problem.

200k, 15-20% bonus, plus stocks. I have seen higher for the right candidate. Negotiate hard

You will be busy playing office politics all day long. Unless you enjoy it, think twice

And office politics exist only in Splunk.

Check Glassdoor for more insights. But from google to splunk? Why?

Am at a stage where my house is almost paid for. Need to go hunt for career growth even if that involves higher risk. Given how I think we are close to tech downturn, start ups seem a little too risky.

Great place to work and grow. Some really difficult nerdy problems to solve. If you are ambitious and nice, you will have a good time for the most part. Things are a bit chaotic but I think developing and shipping a very complex onprem enterprise software is not easy. So it comes with the territory. I say take a leap of faith and join Splunk.

For what it’s worth I went from Splunk to Goog. No looking back! Splunk was great under previous leadership. It was the place to be for many years. Most tenured folks are leaving. Culture is not what it used to be. Technology is still better than alternatives but I don’t see that being the case longer term.
