I recently accepted a L4 offer from Google in the lower range of the L4 band. 260k TC for L4 in Seattle at 2 YOE + masters. I had 450k TC offers in NYC, but decided to stay to help my wife's career (medicine at UW). WLB was also a factor. This is not ideal for my own career, but I want to make the best out of my situation long term. Realistically, if I stay at Google for 3 years, I'll be underpaid compared to the market but I will have a good shot at getting promoted to L5 at 5 YOE. This would put me in a good spot career wise. I can then leverage my experience to get L5-L6 offers elsewhere for a nice tc bump. I can also job hop anytime at L4. 350k tc in Seattle when the market recovers shouldn't be hard. However, it will be a lateral move. And if I decide to come back to Google later, that will set back my L5 promo by at least 1-2 years. Thoughts? Tc 260
What’s the company that you got offer from nyc
Master's doesn't mean shit. Also 450k with 2 YOE? Mind sharing the company name? Don't count paper money though.
Should be jump to another company's L5 position then come back to Google as L5 or higher in the future.
it don’t always map like that but good idea if u get to do more higher level stuff!
260 in seattle for 2 yoe is really good, I recommend that you take google l4 offer and get promoted and its ok to keep browsing for other great job opportunities.
can I dm you? in a similar situation
Sure
Google Seattle is chill, plus Seattle is a better place to take 260 cuz your 450 in NYC would be taxed heavily. Like you said, you can always job hop in Seattle, all major players have presence here. Your wife would also appreciate you being considerate of her career.
how much extra taxes? 10%?
is 260k TC averaged over 4 years? since GG has front load stock vesting. thanks!
