I got an offer for L5 from Google and am wondering what is a range for refreshers? Also, any do's or don'ts to make sure you maximize your bonuses and refreshers? #google
Lol sure. Current: 300 Google TC : 380 + 50 sign on bonus YOE: 6 and have a PhD
Great tc..did u negotiate? Because i am expecting something like that..but i don't have anything in hand as of now
Keep in mind that Google doesn't give a refresher on the calendar first year as a cost savings measure. Found out the hard way after joining.
Yes my recruiter did tell me that. It's definitely NOT a deal breaker or anything. I do wonder what the rationale is behind that.. how different is someone's contribution who starts on December 15th vs January 15th?
There is no rationale. It's a cost cutting measure
Refreshers should be similar to FB, which is $138K. So it might be something like $120K to $200K or so. And Google now do front loading for the initial grant.
They are lower. More in the 70-150 range depends on perf
Thanks y’all. That’s helpful to know.
OP, ask your recruiter. They told me what would be the refresh range I should expect, performance depending of course. May I ask you if your offer is MV or different location? Also is the stock front loaded or equal vesting?
Yes I think the recruiter gave me a generic “performance-based” answer, so I’ll press to get some range. But I was just curious so posted here. Location is Sunnyvale and vesting is equal.
Does Google give refreshers every year?
I believe so, except the first year after joining.
What is the vesting cycle for the refresher grant?
How much stocks google cloud & aws are giving in India at the time of joining ? For 12-15 years exp
How :O was i not supposed to ask that?
Yes, whats wrong with question ? From few post I read Google now even paying what they offered..
