LinkedIn vs Google Comp

Nov 12, 2021 63 Comments

How does comp compare between Google and LinkedIn?

From my experience Google offers were much lower, even accounting for refreshers. LinkedIn has no standard refresher but the median of the bands at LinkedIn Sr-L4 and Staff-L5 seem higher. If optimizing for comp and not brand, is LinkedIn the move?

    • @Qvto68, I think @PbFF74 is now at Uber and was talking about Uber, not Amazon

    • Uber stock is doing pretty bad and no one knows how it will do. MSFT and Google stocks are very good, esp MSFT since they pay dividends hence hedge funds like it lot.

      Therefore, you might be getting better pay at Google/LinkedIn anyways.

    Google is all about your interview performance and competitive offer. If you have a strong offer from somewhere else, and your interview at google was stellar, you’d get as much as google as any company. Ie: I got 400k TC as L4 because fb

      @Microsoft Right, I had offers for google and Facebook in Austin too. Google is not as heavily invested in Austin as compared to FB so I guess that may have factored in.

    • As mentioned Google’s new vesting schedule makes it so they can be competitive for year 1 and 2 but not 3-4. So when comparing offers you need to remember that you will likely be worse off after 2 yrs even if the up front offer is the same or lightly higher.

  • LinkedIn pays really well, G dint match my Sr offer for L4 as well. It made me really sour to the point that I might never apply at G again. They took so much time to decide only to offer me something I dont want, I mean seriously.

  • op why not go to Facebook? I think now for you it’s LinkedIn vs FB? Just ignore the Google lowball. FB may have horrible culture but amazing TC. Brand name wise, yeah gg/fb > Li, but I think LinkedIn brand is also good enough
