Renegotiate offer with Google T4 after accepting

I had accepted offer from Google Seattle and accepted T4 - 144k base, 300k.-4 years stocks , 15% year end bonus. Currently SDE2 with Amazon (Total 7.yrs.exp) Now in recent yearly compensation discussion my base pay has been increased fro. 129 to 143k with some additional grant for next 2 years. Surprisingly rate top tier(I wasn't expecting it) and my total TC is similar to Google now. Also it seems from other blind thread I am probably lowballed. Though I am excited about team , but just not convinced about taking 0 pay bump to offset risk for company change. How should I re negotiate ? Anyone has prior experience in successfully doing this ? Can I be potentially blacklisted if I reject offer now ? Is there some way to get at least 30-35 k bump ? Thanks for the help.

Dude, seriously? Are you kidding? :) Google and Amazon are like the heaven and the hell. That fact is enough to jump on the spot. But also consider the yearly bonus is normally around 18%. So you’re approaching 250k TC in Seattle (which is about 300 in SF bay) + all G perks. That’s an awesome deal for 7 yoe to my mind. Congrats! Ps. Even if you end up hating your life at G (which is super unlikely after Amazon), you can always come back with that shiny G stamp on resume, or goto FB for bigger $$

How is it 300k though ? 144*1.18 + 300/4 comes to 245 k tc

You should take it. The 401k Is another 9k

If your new TC is equivalent to GG offer, there is not much leverage for negotiation. Unless you have a strong reason to stay. That way you can negotiate with GG with position that you can walk away anytime. They spent a lot of time on you already, so they may throw in a 10-20 to the TC.

If Amazon TC is 30% more, I'll then consider Amazon
