Google has the lowest compensation for companies hiring the same level of talent. (For L5 equivalent) Google $355k Bytedance $423k Doordash $416k Pinterest $407k Snowflake. $472k Meta $419k Uber $484k Amazon $387k Netflix. $545k Stripe. $506k Airbnb $468k Databricks $568k So where does the top 5% number come from? Comparing Google with Infosys? If you think you can make it to Google, please do yourself a favor and go to another company. Im trying to, too My TC: 310k
Google has the lowest compensation among companies which pay more. No shit.
Sundar Pikachu face
Google hires in lots of low-cost cities in the US, dragging its avg down.
Yes Google was always trash. Extremely overrated company. I never applied to them and don't plan on starting anytime soon. Tough interviews means you probably waste time. Long process means you will wait months to find out you wasted your time. There are people spend nearly a year in team match. Mediocre pay Loves downleveling Boring products and no innovation. Continuing to milk the same tired old crap (maps, search, ads, gmail, YouTube, etc). There aren't any Google products that are actually more impressive. 3rd rate in the cloud. Slow pace of development. Offices overly concentrated in extremely high cost of living areas making most Googlers live in shitty apartments. Too much internal tooling means you don't learn useful skills at work. Rest and vest reputation means actual innovative companies have their guard up when considering you.
lol
Amazon is everything but worse though lol: 1. Worse compensation 2. Worse work life balance 3. Equal or worse career growth 4. No refreshers 5. Toxic pip culture 6. Worse 401k match 7. Worse rsu vesting schedule 8. No free food, free snacks
Meta is more like 500k. And isnt google with front loaded rsu TC 400k+
Are any L5s at Amazon making $387k???
Each of these TCs is in the 95+th income percentile in the US and even in the Bay Area. At that level of compensation you should really start making compensation a secondary, or even tertiary, factor and look at which of these offers you the most in terms of professional growth. Where can you learn the most from others? What company mission (or team/product) is most aligned with what you like to work on, like to learn about? Which gives you the best opportunities in the future, either within or outside the company? A work/life balance that works for you? Benefits that work for you and your family? And so on.
Thanks to Indian leadership 🇮🇳🇮🇳
The best kind ! On par with Euro management..
We are like top 0.1% for CEO payout. Best place to coast for that $200M guy.
There are many many other companies paying lower, what about VMware IBM oracle Microsoft Tesla lalala delulu
I think he’s suggesting the talent level of those companies is below the aforementioned companies
The company quotes the top 5-10% across the industry instead. I think it is fair
