Awaiting offer on a Level 7 role with Google Cloud Professional Services (Data Center Transform). Recruiter asked my expectation and I said TC of 700k as an expectation. She said L7's don't go that high. She mentioned the following back of envelope numbers for a Level 7
1. Expected max base $246k
2. 25% perf bonus
3. Typical sign on bonus : ~$20k
3. Stock equity : TBD
Seems to be a bit low based on online research. My EOY = 19 yrs. Thoughts?

I feel like that’s low given what I’ve seen others come in at in my friends group at L6. But maybe the jump isn’t that large

Frankly, unless you’re leading a large group/department or are a skilled coder working on some core solution, I’m not sure 700k is an appropriate amount. 400-500 is max I can see for the type of role you’re seeking

Exactly, staff swe make 700k(per levels). We wouldn’t pay that for DCT jobs.

Folks here vastly overestimate what Google pays all the time.

Principal1, what was your rationale for not taking the L7 offer? TC i assume was $700k or more? Was it just your B4 partner TC being a lot higher? Or did any other factors also play a role (like lifestyle, location it sounds like)

How do you make anywhere near that at ibm ?

Not even either! Ginni got the 🪓

So she is essentially saying the actual TC is half of your expected level?

What’s level 7 ?

You might come closer to 500k than 700k which is more of the SWE range.

700k is way too high. Probably max 500 with equity.

Wow, an AP gets paid that much
