Last post here https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/EW4ywF3T I asked google for 145 base, 250 stock across 4 years. They gave me almost everything I asked for. My hiring packet was good—I had a strong reference and statements of support from at least one hiring manager and my recruiter. Interview feedback was: Googleyness: strong yes Tech: yes l4, yes l3, no The decision just got a lot more interesting. These numbers are first year salary. Some questions for the crowd: * How to value intangibles at google like health insurance, 401k match, etc? Nutanix healthcare costs 200/paycheck for a family. Idk about google. Nutanix matches 2000 in your 401k. Google matches 11500. * Vacation. Nutanix has unlimited PTO, 10 sick days. Google has 20 PTO, unlimited sick. G has 1 more company holiday. * Future opportunities? After this job (3 years probably) I am looking to reduce working hours to part time in semi-retirement. Does G on your resume help with leverage for things like 4 day work weeks, consulting gigs, etc? * stock outlook with the antitrust suit on the horizon? #engineering #software
Is Nutanix hiring?
L4 has got inflated these days and is about 2-3 YOE. An Average L5 can be 6-8 YOE. Maybe if you care about brand and money. If a FAANG is paying about the same as nutanix, then you're likely under leveled.
That’s interesting. I have 4 YOE at FAANG and 3 at a small local shop, right now I feel like a journeyman L4 but would like to grow to L5 in the next couple years
Ok then they are down leveling you. L4 is more like a new grad after 18 months. New grads should become L4 before 2 YOE at google on average. Otherwise its a performance problem. Don't fall for the brand hype if you already have FAANG experience. At least get a top of band offer very close to L5. Do a design interview
Take Google. It's a steroid for your future career. Wtf even is Nutanix lmao.
Even with all of its flaws, Google is the right move since you can bounce to another company later on. I would however, ask about your org and team for WLB concerns and ask about any stack ranking that’s being implemented at Google. Good luck! TC: 105K
I think the 401k match itself matches the offer. The bonus is usually more than 15% as well. Does Nutanix pay refreshers? Is the Google offer with front loading?
Benefits, raise bonus, etc, you are gonna make more at G and it's much better for resume and likely for learning, seems like an easy solution.
Congrats! Weird Google did not downlevel you with that feedback
Agreed. Their process has changed recently and I had strong statements of support so perhaps my good team match has something to do with it. (Fairly young team, no current L6, 2 seasoned L4s and one L5 for ~15 people)
I have exact same numbers for Durham at G. I worked at Nutanix for 2 years earlier. Take G. Nutanix Meh
Does Nutanix do refreshers? Also, while I was there almost all my bonuses ended up being over 20% due to performance. You'll probably end up making more at Google over the long run.

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
Tell them you will sign for 30k signing bonus. Do not take a paycut.
This is the right answer. They’re still 10k short. Get a signing bonus and accept.
All that negotiation just keep the same TC? I say ask for more
