Hi Everyone,
This my first time posting on Blind. Looking for your input.
I currently have a verbal offer from Google, Canada (L6 - Tech, non-SWE) and have final interview for Microsoft with the HM’s manager post the onsite (this round is basically when you clear the onsite - as told by the recruiter, who also mentioned that they are keen to move forward with an offer).
Would it be ok to negotiate with Google if I receive a higher offer from Microsoft, I have already negotiated the Google offer by 20% without any counter. I haven’t signed the Google offer yet but have accepted it verbally on call with the recruiter.
Would Microsoft pay TC higher than what Google has offered? ( I am not aware of the level but it is for Senior Architect (not professional services))?
YoE: 8
Current TC: C$140K
Google verbal offer TC: C$400K
Want to see the real deal?

@travellera, oh yeah, I may never get another Google offer again. But at the time, I prioritized the higher TC offer because I had grad school debt
It’s slightly negative to negotiate after already negotiating but the power is all in your hands until you sign. Mention that things changed and you’re really torn between both but would sign with google if they matched x.
I would join G over MSFT by a landslide personally but it’s ultimately up to you. I heard M doesn’t do refreshers and so after 4 years your comp drops off dramatically. Someone from there should confirm though.
We don’t know what role it is, so 400k TC for tech role seems a hard lowball. SWEa make 600k-ish for L6 at Google. So unless you share the exact role, people can’t evaluate.
