Have a lowball Google offer (160/320/0) for L4. Expecting a FB offer L5. Would negotiating Google offer with verbal offer from FB (waiting for it) be possible? Or do they need written offers?
E5 will blow that out of the water. Would you even want to negotiate?
E5 offer will be much higher than your L4. Lowest for E5 l’ve seen here recently was 180/400/?, highest - 205/700/100. L4 won’t get that high, only if you were considered for L5.
Is that 180/400 for 4 years or per year? Example tc for 1 year being 280 or 580. Huge difference, just want clarification
180k is a base salary, 400k is RSU over 4 years, so 100k per single year, bonus for E5 is 15% off base salary and ? In that case is one-time payment sign on bonus which can vary from 0 to 100k. In overall ~400k would be average yearly pay for E5.
YOE?
That sounds like a high L4 offer(high probably not the highest)
It's up there. Blind is deluded.
@QKFk84 do you know how high can L4 go?
Definitely possible. But L5 at F will pay a lot. Not sure if G is still better for you. What’s your yoe and how familiar are you with the tech of the team you matched at G?
Pretty decent offer. Good luck with negotiations.
Also consider E5 will have a much higher refresher, likely around double. Not sure why you would entertain L4 unless you want to coast
How is l5 refresh these days? Did google increase it? (Fb increased by 10% last year)
Google is cheap, go for FB.
OP: Not clear from your post. Do you already have a verbal FB offer? Or you did your interviews well enough to expect one? They generally have 2 HCs. Have you cleared one or both of them? 2nd HC is more of a formality, so the first one matters. What are the FB numbers if you know them already?
Cleared both. Recruiter gave numbers on phone.
Congratulations. Are you planning to accept E5?

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Google needs written.
Candidate has to send offer letter of other company as proof? That's ridiculous.
It might be but you always have the option of accepting their offer if you don't want to send. Ultimately the ball is in your court. Google does it because people can make up numbers and they might have seen that trend. It is unfortunate but a reality they have to deal with. Email screenshot with some blackouts is fine. They don't need formal letter.
