I got a Google offer, don’t know the numbers yet.
Have a Microsoft competing offer for SWE:
109K base
120K stocks
50K sign on

Can the numbers on Google offer be better than this? What base, stocks and bonus can I ask for?

YOE 0
TC - 0. New Grad.

    You say, you are new grad.

    Then how did you get Amazon Id?

      Personally, I ask for more shares. And just look at overall TC.

      Reason - base is taken care of during merit increase and promotions etc automatically. Doesn't matter if your base is 110k or 125k, during promo it will be 140k (as an example) for both.
      So for example if you have an option of 100k base and 100k shares or 105k base and 80k shares. Say you get promoted in 2 years and next level base 130k. So after 2 years 1st option is better.

      I did. 75 bonus and 255 stocks at the max. Is it that this is only for returning interns that they offer such a high bonus? Or can i negotiate to that point?

    • L3 also includes people with a few years experience. I wouldn’t expect numbers like 75k bonus and 255k stock for a new grad

  • Be sure to tell your recruiter about the competing offer if you haven’t already.
