Google vs Facebook

L4 at Both and in the bay. Max offers after negotiations.

G: 400k Y1, 310k avg over 4 years
FB: 370k Y1, 310k avg

Have other offers as well
Amazon : ~ 300k
Snap: 340k
Roblox: 300k
Not considering these due to lack of stability and it’s amazon of coz.

Leaning towards G for now, don’t care about L5 since I plan to jump in around 3 years.

This was the first and final G offer, surprised they did not lowball.

YOE : 2

    You have 2 yoe, why not head to FB, accelerate learning and growth over slow progress at G

    • Why does it matter if I can jump to L5 elsewhere I am pretty sure uplevels from L4 happens all the time. Internal promo usually comes with 10% raise which isn’t much incentive to slave away. Unless I can hit L5 at FB within an year, doesn’t make much difference to me

      Fair points and respect for being so aware of playing the game. Wish I was this smart when I graduated

    How did you do so many interviews and get so many offers at one time?

      He won’t answer, to leave you in a stew of mystery and misery. The typical Blue Ball and disappear trick I see on Blind

    • Most companies had reached out to me on LinkedIn at some point in time over the past year or so, I just reached out to them again to schedule the interviews now. I applied to Google through a referral.

      For the prep, I worked really hard for around 3 months(put in 4-6 hours a day alongside normal work). Have solved 500LC and tried to cover most patterns. Revised the ones I couldn’t solve before big interviews. Have been in touch with LC ever since I graduated, given interviews every 6 months or so for various reasons. I would say it was hard work and quite a bit of luck. The interviews weren’t easy, well amazon was easy and FB was from LC. The rest were really hard.

    Google suddenly starts giving out larger offers? They realize their incompetent offers earlier purely suck and people are rejecting them?

      Except most offers, initial offers in the very least, ARE lowballs. Sorry but you sounds clueless, oh I get it, not lowballs according to Bloomberg’s standards

    • Do you expect Google to just give out the max L4 offer to every Tom,dick and harry like Facebook? FB needs to do that since no one would join there for the same or lesser TC than Google. Also it’s the front loading of RSU that makes it lowball.

    How did you compute year 1 and the reaming years average that they are different?
