Looking to find a new role, heard about Airbnb, FB, and Lyft paying more, but in terms of insurance, stocks, benefits not sure if this would be a good move.

    There isn’t a place where you will get paid more for the same amount of work. There are plenty of places to get paid more though.

  • I make 360k with 5yoe as senior at LinkedIn which is L4 at google. Any other decent company pays more than Google. I am still trying to understand whether prestige pays bill for people. Join LinkedIn, Airbnb, Pinterest, Airbnb etc. They have good prestige/benefits and superb pay. Any of the above move is better than staying at google.

    • Google has a reputation for lowballing. I always heard that competing offers were just about the only way to get a competitive offer. Their process is so slow that I did exactly that while waiting for next steps. It helped but not as much as I hoped. I'm not sure I want to work for some of their big hiring competitors but the pay difference is considerable.

    I have about half of your YoE. I make about the same TC as you.

      Some of us speak english! There were only two possible interpretations and both were apparent.

      Well if most of Blinders think about the harmful intention, then we have a bigger problem here than discussing about our TCs.

    I mean you’ve already sold you’re soul and integrity by working for Google....why not try FB. I hear they are going to do amazing things with privacy at some point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
