YOE: ~4
at Google: <=1 yr in WA
TC: was 185k 1st yr including signon and 15% bonus

I had a nagging sense that they lowballed my offer initially. I havent seen the new TC yet, but I’m afraid they will continue to try to keep my comp below “market rate.”

What should I expect for T4 TC?
If I get a low offer, would it be kosher to leave so soon?
Can it be negotiated? (Seems difficult after already pushing for the promo) Should I get an outsider offer handy?

    TC is expected to be low for L3 SWE. After promo to L4 SWE expect around 205K. These are excluding oncall payments which may add another 10K on top of it.

    What everyone said last cycle was: promoComp = max(market price, 6% raise). So if you're low balled now, you get market price. If you are high end for your current level, you get the minimum raise 6%.

      Wtf rule is this? Someone getting a 6% raise who got competing offers and mb downleveled will get fucked after accepting the offer. They will just bail.

    Your base would be lowest in L4 if you were lowballed. Your stock refresh this year is based on L3. That said, your TC is around 200k next year. If you stay longer your TC is better since Google provide good refresh.
