Recruiter says they consider me for L6 but HC decided to go for L5, and I was borderline L6. I did a mistake and told my expected TC range is $330k+ and they ended up offering 330k itself. If I accept L5, how much salary hike can I expect during L6 promo? Or should I wait out another year and try for L6, with no guarantee ofcourse. yoe: 12
Google is shit in offering good comp. I make more than that as sr.swe at LinkedIn. Ask for at least 400k if you are borderline L6. Don't sell yourself for Google's name. It's the most boring and uninspiring place for most of the engineers. FYI, fb offered me 410k for e5 recently.
What was your split for FB ? 200k base, 700k stock?
Come interview at FB. Google thinks people will take a pay cut for having Google on their resume. They offered a shitty offer even at L6
Airbnb offer $330k for l4 FYI.
Airbnb - can you refer me ?
I thought people go to google to retire / give up on life
Are you L7 at amzn?
No, L6
What the likelihood of you getting L7 at amzn in the next year? If possible stick it out at amzn. Being principle at amzn makes it much easy to convince google you are staff. If no promotion on horizon, just join google at L5.
