Has anyone used the Levels.FYI salary negotiation service to successfully negotiate their Google offer?

Can you share your experience? I’m expecting an offer next week and considering the service.

Won’t have much luck tbh. Pay bands are set per level. The most compelling case you could make is if you have a competing offer with another FAANG, otherwise Google won’t care too much to cater to your asks bc they have 100 other ppl lined up who’ll take your job for less

Sign on bonus and equity. Year end bonus is standard by level based on individual and company performance

Worth a shot. Worst they will say is no. I negotiated my equity (GSUs) up to 100k from 30k.

No but I was a returning intern

I didn’t use any negotiation service and got 20% more RSUs without a competing offer earlier this year.

Yes. Sign on was part of the original offer so I only pushed for more equity when I countered.

I used a negotiation service and had good results. Jeff H Sipe.

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.
