New Grad Offer as I Start an Internship

I just received the following full time return offer from Google in Seattle (after interning this summer): 105k base 90k gsu over 4 years 15% bonus target No signing bonus I graduate this spring, but I'm about to start an internship at Amazon in Boston, and I see roughly 3 options: 1. Accept the offer (it seems like I could do better, but ultimately I do want to work here) 2. Ask for time (it will probably be 3 months before I get an offer from Amazon, but the start date for google is September 2019) 3. Ask for more base salary/signing bonus What're your thoughts? Thanks!

How much time do you think it's reasonable to ask for? I'm starting the interview process with a couple companies now, is it reasonable to expect offers in time?

Offer seems low for google even though it’s Seattle. Microsoft new grad is more plus you’re a return intern so should definitely be more stock, signing bonus of around 30-50k at least and base maybe should be $10k higher

Amazon beats that new grad offer as well. Seems quite low

See what they offer Bay Area interns; it should be around that afaik fb and google offer the same regardless of location as long as it’s Bay Area or Seattle (maybe NYC too)

0 sign on bonus? Jeez. That’s like 65k over 2 years that you’re missing out on there.
