Got offers from Google and FB, both L5 (E5). Roles will be in ML, and I am currently talking to some teams at both companies. MS also offered but haven't given me any more information beyond AS 2 in Team X (poor communication all in all).
Google wanted me to propose how much compensation I expect which seems standard.
FB was more forthcoming, and my recruiter said they'll come in with 205k/600k/100k, but are open to negotiation depending on Google's response. However, Google wants me to get those numbers in writing before they can counteroffer. It's been weird since FB has been texting me, almost as if they know I want an official email.
How should I navigate this situation? I find this quite awkward but don't wanna take a hit on compensation just because the conversation made me uncomfortable.
Current TC: 270K
YOE: 4+, all at Amazon
Education: PhD in machine learning
Location: Seattle

Google is probably a bit longer, maybe 5 years is median. Google is bigger, more scrutiny, more difficult to make impact. FB is smaller, easier to grow to 6.
FB came back their max offer 205/15%/100/700
Google came back with 192/15%/50/900.
I'm having a couple more chats figuring out the teams, career growth and wlb. Hope to make the final decision soon.
