LinkedIn Staff to Google L4 but great team

Jul 29, 2020 108 Comments

Staff in Linkedin’s online data infra group. TC of 580k due to stock appreciation. Got an L4 offer. I got a bit nervous in the systems design which did not go great to get L5.

Both Cloud Spanner and Ads infra teams are interested in my profile. Both are kickass teams and solve very large scale distributed systems and I am super interested.

TC which they are offering for L4: 160 base, 15% bonus, 500k RSU for 4 years, 60k sign on. Total: 324k.

I understand this is a level down plus lower TC but it has always been a dream for me to work at Google and the teams which are offered to me are too good in my opinion.

Please let me know your thoughts: #google #facebook #linkedin

    Are you willing to pay $250k just to work for some ‘dream’ company? I really can’t believe you are even considering such a move.

    Google is better than most other companies, maybe the best but not that far away from others.

    If you are crazy enough to consider this move then I have another advice: negotiate hard. Base can go up to ~$180k and stocks can exceptionally go up to $700k or more for exceptional candidates

    I would say, not worth losing $250k just for working in your “dream company” and editing config files and moving protos.

      I would do that too. Google is highly revered everywhere regardless of TC

      It doesn’t come anywhere near the top for TC now just cuz people have put it on a pedestal and call it things like “Nirvana”.
