New grad offer comparison
Posting for a friend who is still in college and doesn't have a blind account. He has 3 offers (completing masters from a decent college, 0 YoE outside of internships). All Bay area offers for SWE LinkedIn: 145K base, 35K sign on, 200K RSU. SWE title. Google (Waymo): 150K base, 50K sign on, 180K RSU. L3 Facebook: 145K base, 50K sign on, 180K RSU. L3 Are these in line with prevailing new grad offers? He is leaning towards Google, will try some negotiation but is willing to take it at current offer too.
These are pretty high and comparable
Great, thanks. Sounds like they are competitive offers then. Will let him know, this should be helpful information for him.
Bullshit. On high end for Google l3. Don't forget he didn't include yearly bonus. Just look at go/paycomparison
What’s the position? Def higher than a standard SWE package, which is about 130k, 100k, 15%, 20k
Facebook doesn't pay $145k base at L3. This is BS.
+1
The FB offer seems to be more an L4 offer than L3 (unless things have changed drastically in the last two years). Either way it's very competitive for sure
What is there to think about. Google is the clear winner.
Base is much higher than normal even considering MS. Normal new grad base for BS is 115-120k but with ~100k stock. These aren’t already negotiated?
These numbers are totally possible depending on the field in which he got his masters. I had very similar offers(some higher , some a bit lower)
No these are first offers AFAIK, but each of the companies knew he was expecting offers from the other 2 when they gave their first numbers.
