Get Google to match base then take it
Tried that . Looks like they are not going to change the base but RSU might be adjusted
Is Google devices group better than Meta infra ?
Google layoffs are yet to come
What makes you say that?
I forgot Google is dumping billions into a failing business and is approaching negative cash flow. Oh wait no that’s Meta, Google is still massively cash flow positive even in this environment, and their biggest cash sink (Waymo) was just approved to operate in SF and burns 1/10 of Meta’s VR bets.
What job family is this?
Google all day. The work culture is so much more chill and targets great engineering over all else. L4->L5 will probably be 1.5 years at minimum. Have seen it faster but you really have to show up day one and show real value.
I would take Meta for the long-term play. L5 over L4 down-level, so that accelerates your career growth. Meta's stock has already corrected by 75% and they cut spending significantly with layoffs, so stock will stabilize. Google hasn't begun layoffs yet. Comp offer at Meta is more attractive, especially if you can get them to come up more.
Meta is rescinding a lot of offers lately. Google seems to be a safe bet.
People at Google are being put on PIP . Also they did rescind/ push back on at least one offer . From some talks with people in Google, it does not seem that they are very stable. With pip and everything they are as scary if not more right now.
Congrats, awesome offers in this environment
Do not go to Meta if you value long term investments in your work, especially at a services company that overly indexes on short term success metrics. As someone here, I would not recommend it.
Is Google 500k rsu for 3years or 4 years?

Why doesn't OpenAI offshore and reduce expense by 80%
Congratulations on your offers. What’s your yoe? I don’t see it in the post. Meta - lot of work pressure. 50+ hours of work. Google - comparatively chill. 30-40 hours of work.
Updated in the post.Thanks
Do you know how long does it take to move from L4 to L5 in Google?
