I have a few offers but I short listed them to Uber and Google.
Google is a bit lowballing and it's an engprod team.
Vote on which one is better

Uber L5a : 200/720/35/50 base/rsu/bonus/sign on

Google L5: 200/560/30/10 base/rsu/bonus/sign on

Google vesting is 33/33/22/12
Uber is 25/year

TC for first two years is same but Google drops in 3rd and 4th year

Location NY

Current TC 350
L5 in Amzn

    Uber can double in 1-2 years. Google can also be highly unlikely.

    Out of curiousity, whats the rationale for front loaded vesting? Doesn't it not encourage attrition when tc fall off after 2 years?

      OP
      The problem is that FB is not gonna give me a written offer since I rejected them already 1.5 months ago
      Their number was wayyyy better than what I got from Google
      That's a good approach ! I'm gonna try to push it up a bit

      Is it just Google or all the FAANGs (& friends) want to see an offer to match or beat it? I find it insulting and I have never showed a competing offer to another company. If you are bluffing and they walk away, then it is your problem, but at least you don't need to disclose information on which there is a potential NDA.

    You got Google l5? Take it! The scope and impact is much higher than l5a.
    Most Google l4 go to Uber as l5a. I personally know 3.
    You can try for e6 after a couple of years even after l5. Think long term gain!

      🤣

      Thanks for volunteering education. I’m just saying a L6/L7 manager doesn’t really care a new labor is L4 or L5. There are so many projects in one team. Please enjoy your Google journey, be promoted to L5, and interview as L6 soon.

  • Google has stability. Uber shows big dreams but isn't that stable. Google stocks do better than Uber

    How many YOE total and at AMZN? How was the process to jump from L5 at Amazon to L5 at Google?
