Currently L5 SDE, 270K after stock crash. Next year if the stock price stays the same my TC will drop to 240K if I don’t get any refreshers this yr. Currently working for AWS DynamoDb org. I was put in their hiring pool after interviews in Nov 2022. I took 4 interviews from managers in GCP. I selected one of the teams but unfortunately they paused the process in December citing hiring freeze. The HR called me today to offer the same role in the same team. Google is offering 340K for L5. Sign on 50k (30+20). I think my team is very safe in amazon. Good work and good manager fortunately. My promo got denied last time but I guess I should certainly make it sometime this yr. Is this a good time to join google. The TC is low for sure. I guess the same role a yr ago would have given me at least 380 and an extra 30k in sign on. I always wanted to join google but economic uncertainty and GCP as a brand is making me think again. Please advise.

What's that saying? Better the devil you know than the devil you don't? Things don't really seem to be looking that good, and GCP just had bad reputation before all this anyways. If you do decide to switch, maybe you want to hold off on the two week notice until you start your first day given how so many people are having their offers rescinded.
Join Google. You are getting 50% increase
This. Amazon is not going to give you anything based on trends this year. This is also confirmed on Blind. G is much better place than Amazon. You just have to be careful so that the offer doesn't get rescinded.
Hmm? How do you prevent an offer from vetting rescinded lol? Do you mean play it safe like no 2 week notice util first day at G?
Do not, from my experience, i did the same had a great team a cushy job , recently promoted, joined Google for the stock grant not even the base pay only to be laid off in 3 months
Super shitty
That sucks man. I was worried too luckily I took another offer. Paused my google recruitment.
Good luck working for TK !

I have no idea about GCP but here are some news about Waymo: Jan 24: https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/24/waymo-lays-off-staff-as-alphabet-announces-12000-job-cuts March 1: https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/01/waymo-cuts-200-employees-after-second-round-of-layoffs
Google stock price won't stay low forever. Low stock price is a great time to join.
Not sure about that. Unless they launch some exciting products, historically which they can’t. Word on the Wall Street is their market share is/ will be declining significantly on search.
