Have a lowball Google offer (160/320/0) for L4. Expecting a FB offer L5. Would negotiating Google offer with verbal offer from FB (waiting for it) be possible? Or do they need written offers?

      Making up screenshots is a risk someone is taking at the cost of a good faith pending (albeit lower) Google offer being revoked if detected. You're creating a digital trail of false information.

      Comp team members looking at it are trained eyes who look at hundreds of such screenshots every month. Any doubt in their mind about the authenticity looks pretty bad on you. If that's a risk someone is willing to take, all powers to them!

      In many/most cases, do remember that the candidate needs Google job much more than Google needs the candidate because they have hundred others waiting to take up the job at the original offer amount.

    • Not sure if Google needs an offer letter. A screenshot of email from recruiter confirming offer details was enough in my case.

  • E5 offer will be much higher than your L4. Lowest for E5 l’ve seen here recently was 180/400/?, highest - 205/700/100. L4 won’t get that high, only if you were considered for L5.

    • Is that 180/400 for 4 years or per year?
      Example tc for 1 year being 280 or 580.
      Huge difference, just want clarification

    • 180k is a base salary, 400k is RSU over 4 years, so 100k per single year, bonus for E5 is 15% off base salary and ? In that case is one-time payment sign on bonus which can vary from 0 to 100k. In overall ~400k would be average yearly pay for E5.

    E5 will blow that out of the water. Would you even want to negotiate?

    Also consider E5 will have a much higher refresher, likely around double.

    Not sure why you would entertain L4 unless you want to coast

    Google won’t give you L5 but will likely match the $$
