    I would say take Google. Brand value early in your career will pay off later on.

    Google is place where you can spend a lot of years and not get bored. The variety of work there is incredible. Adobe not so much

  • How the hell are your offers so high? How did you negotiate?

    Pretty close offers.

    At G refreshers are pretty much guaranteed unless you get NIs whereas Adobe you potentially don't get any based on performance/org.

    Have you tried negotiating already?

      Google doesn’t negotiate much.
      They think they can just get away with not paying market rate because “I’m Google”.

      Yes they wouldn't go beyond some range. They only compare the 1st year TC, and subsequent years they say they have refreshers which would nullify the difference

    Take Adobe if its ML. Refreshers and pay are excellent as is the problem space : making products like Photoshop even smarter is a tough problem to solve.

    If this is SWE, go for Google instead
