Google took their time after interview and I couldn’t wait that long so accepted an offer from Salesforce. Now Google came back and they are offering more TC, but the team they matched might not be the best match for my skill set.

Google - L6 (TL, possibly people manager as well), TC - 480k
Salesforce - Lead MTS, TC - 440k

I’m not looking for challenges at work, so Salesforce sounds more relaxed.##
Also don’t want to cut strings with Salesforce, not sure if that’s a red flag to reject accepted offer.

Any thoughts?

    It’s a red flag and bad form to reject an accepted offer, but you got to do what’s best for you at the end of the day. Might burn that bridge.

    You can change teams within Google and being senior you’ll be in demand too. So if the skill set match is suboptimal I wouldn’t stop just for that. Put in an year and see, maybe you’ll like the team and the people.. or you can then switch.

    also, why these doubts when your username is ‘realsure’ 😉

      I think the red flag is overblown. Folks do accept counters from their companies when they give notice to go to their accepted external offer.
      Bad form, yes, it's a broken promise after all.

    You should be principal at SF if you got L6 at google. Go to google (that offer is fairly low for L6 though. You should be getting close to 600K)

    • Yeah, you either performed really well on the Google interview or not too well on the Salesforce interview. They are mapping LMTS at sfdc to L4,L5 at Google btw. Sfdc probably thinks your a senior LMTS. I would ask Sfdc if they can keep the pay the same but bump title to pmts just to see

    • Google L6 doesn't pay 600K before appreciation. I had similar offer (L6, 480K) a while back, and I declined. I wasn't sure then but now I think I did the right thing because, I am making almost the same remotely at SF.

    I would take G’s offer as well. Let sfdc know asap so they don’t start provisioning all your stuff.
