Salary NYC Customer Engineer for Google Cloud Platform
After 7 interviews my recruiter told me they will be extending me an offer for a Customer Engineer (aka sales engineer) position at Google Cloud Platform. The position is for NY offices. I don’t have any competing offer, and recruiter has asked me what TC I am looking for. She threw some number over the phone like: Base salary: 135-142k Target Bonus: 20% GSU: she didn’t say how much but she said Google tends to be generous with shares Signing Bonus: she didn’t give a number but asked me to think about it Relocation: she mentioned it but didn’t say how much I have 7+ years of experience, masters degree, multiple AWS certifications, and I am the founder and organizer of the Cloud meetup in the city I live. Any idea on how much I should be asking for? I would expect to enter as T4 (is it the same than L4?) but she didn’t mention it (maybe I should ask her). Base salary sounds low compared to other posts I read. Is 400k for GSU crazy? I was thinking on: 150k base salary + 360k GSU + 30k bonus Thoughts?
I'd be surprised if you got anything like that in GSU for CE. Expect it to be closer to your base.
So you suggest a good deal would be more like: 140k base 40k (160k/4) 30k bonus ???
Yep more realistic
GSU is what exactly???
RSU...vesting shares
Is this a Partner Engineer role? Or another role?
The role is Customer Engineer at GCP. I believe they also call it Sales Engineer...
I don't have any data points, but I'd be interested to hear what you get offered. I'm happy in my current position, but a Google recruiter reached out to me for the same role and I'm curious what sort of TC I'd be looking at if I made the switch.
I will let you know once I get the offer (most probably next week).
Awesome. Thanks.
For L4 something around low 200's TC
That’s what I’ve seen in other posts. Should I aim for 250 then? Is that realistic for a Customer Engineer?
What’s your current role and TC?
You might get 250. Ask for more on equity, other areas are basically pretty inflexible (base, bonus)
Is 250k for Customer Engineer (CE) T4 realistic?
It's a stretch, but no harm in asking
CE gets paid on commission
Recruiter didn’t say anything about c
Comission*
Guys my friend moved from SE role to PTM (Partner role). He said his salary did not take a hit. Are the refreshers same in PTM role as SDE role?
Any update op? Talking to the same team myself and would love some insight
Do you mean 400k over 4 years? High but not crazy
Yes! Basically 100k per year
Do the numbers sound right? How much should I be getting a year for such position? (I’m currently way underpaid so whatever I get offered it will be more than what I make)
