    This is relatively low imo. I got 140 base + 280 RSU for L3. 3yoe with no name company. Had higher competing offers

      Ah gotcha. Did you do system design at both? Or was it just based on your leetcode?

      Tough choice, although A’s stock is lower, but have higher upside. If it’s me, I’ll always choose G over A.

    Pretty average for L4, but you’re very lucky to have L4 after 4 years. Go for it.

  • If you do this, I suggest waiting more than a few months and giving google a real try. It will give you more credibility when talking to other companies

    • Just to be fully transparent, your offer is 30% more than what Google offered me to start at L4 in 2011. I turned it down for am even lower offer instead at Facebook. I think your offer is pretty good. However I can tell you the starting value of your tc doesn’t matter much when compared to how much more you can earn by doing awesome things and company growth.

      Totally agree with you. I think I will learn a lot during my time there.
