Got offers from Snap for L4 and Google L4. Both Seattle. Snap offer: Base: 190K RSU: 750K over 4 years (monthly vest) Signing bonus: Didn't talk about it. Annual refresher: discretionary 187/yr. Google: L4 SWE no numbers yet. Still in team match. What's the max Google could go for an L4 SWE. (Google peeps?) (**Update:** Google came back with low low-ball. Base 144K, 235K/4-years RSU, 30K signing bonus. Shared Snap's offer and asked them to reconsider. Leaning towards snap as of now) I have kept other on-sites on hold at Twitter and MSFT. Don't know if I would have time for those. Other datapoints, 1. 6 YoE - all at Amazon (AWS currently + e-commerce) 2. On a visa - H1B Thoughts, any insights? Current TC: 235K
Google's offer is probably going to be lower.
What are we talking here? Like below 300K?
Below 250k
Googles offer is going to be way lower
Is Snap’s vesting schedule monthly now and not back loaded?
Has been for almost 2 years
Yep, monthly and starts from 45 days of starting
Congratulations on your offers! If you really want to join google, get some written proof on your snap offer and ask Google to match
This ^^
Hmm, I would have to accept verbally to get an offer letter though. Don't think it's fair for snap to get offer letter without 100% accepting the offer and don't want to burn bridges too
Teach us Sensei Many congratulations
I don't think Google will match that it even come close, but Google stock is a more known quantity (for better or worse). Snap might 4x or .25x
SNAP is a dying company
Hmm I don't know man - who is the only challenger to FB in social media? Also snap seems to be really popular with teens and < 25 year olds.
The Snap camera is a huge success, all my friends and family have one. Also, teenagers sending dick pics and 💩 emojis to each other is a trillion dollar market, Snap will be profitable in no time.
750k RSU for a L4?! What the fuck?
Snap L4 is senior SDE. Snap's level starts at L1
G won’t match it, because it doesn’t consider you senior enough with that yoe from Amazon.
Nice Snap offer 👌

Per levels.fyi, Snap L4 is a Google L5. Snap will probably be the stronger offer. Does seem a little early for a poll, given that you don't have all details for 1 offer, or any details for other offer...
That's true. I would know numbers from Google soon but I know it's L4 as of now. What would it be if assuming median or strong Google L4 offer
Got numbers from Google too. Google low balled hard and quoted 220K, below my current TC. I shared snap offer and asked them reconsider. Would know next week.
