Cleared google interviews, team matched to GCP, work seems good and challenging. But mixed reviews on blind.

In uber work is boring for my team and I have exhausted the learning which uber india has to offer.

Also uber bangalore culture has degraded since I joined, will google be better in that scenario ?

Would it be wise to consider the offer ?

L4 at both
YOE : 3
U TC: 53 ( 33 base rest stock and bonus )
G TC: 65 ( 35 base + 100k stocks front loaded, rest bonus )

    If you are not enjoying the learning at Uber you won't at Google as well IMO.
    Google is slower, ton of processes and lesser output. If you want to learn processes and all I will suggest jumping otherwise the TC jump is not that high.

    GCP teams in India are as good as working in a different company. Everyone up till directors are new hires.

    Learning at Google might be even lesser, since we're slower and have a tech island of sorts.
    And yeah, not having tenured Googlers in your team sucks big time.

    Which team were you at in uber currently? I have an offer from uber. Wil help evaluate better

    Also, is the google tc after negotiation.? I feel you should push a bit lot for the base. My friends who recently got l4 could manage to get just a little less than 40

    What about getting promoted to L5a? Wouldn't that bump your TC quite a bit?

      OP
      Recent L4
      L5 might take a year and a half or two, Looking at current state don't want to write useless ERDs just for promotion sake.
      I want to do more meaningful work now !
