I have recently received a google new grad offer for DC location. I was wondering how I could negotiate my offer to get a better TC.

Current offer:
base: 127k
stock: 90k/4
yearly bonus: 15% ~19k
no sign-on

What I would like:
base: 127k
stock: 120k/4
yearly bonus: 15% ~19k
15k sign-on

I have also interviewed and finished my onsite at:
Meta: fairly confident I can get the offer
Amazon: fairly confident I can get the offer
Qualtrics: very sure I can get the offer
Palantir: 😬 have a chance

If I was to get at least those three offers (let's say I get rejected by Palantir) how likely is it I can use those offers to get my google one up to what I want?

TC: Intern-too ashamed to even put it on here
YOE: 0

    Google does not really consider competing offers for new grad unless you had really strong interview performance.

      Sorry I should be more clear. Your recruiter might not tell you because it gives you leverage :). My point is that you should try to negotiate but have realistic expectations that even providing them with written proof of a significantly higher offer may do nothing.

  • You can always use other offers as leverage and ask them to beat. Idk about new grad offers, but I’m fairly certain Google would try to match your FB offer.

    You can also say something like “I’m expecting offers from 3 other companies but if you give me X I’ll sign now.” This is risky if other offers come in much better.

    That said, I doubt there’s much variance in new grad pay.

    You haven’t got any other offers. Don’t count your KFC yet.
