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 ?

I'm roaring at that puny 20k sign on LMAO
Mentor
Maybe not for you 🙌
Only person at IBM making that money:
Not even either! Ginni got the 🪓
So she is essentially saying the actual TC is half of your expected level?
What’s level 7 ?
Coach
You might come closer to 500k than 700k which is more of the SWE range.
What do you do at IBM?

TC of 700k seems like the average at Google for L7 SWE. Not sure how different salaries would be for other roles. https://www.levels.fyi/company/Google/salaries/Software-Engineer/L7/
Slightly higher base (by 5%) and 25% bonus applied to that higher base. It’s the lower-risk scenario compared to being overweight on RSU expectations and price fluctuations on GOOG.
700k is way too high. Probably max 500 with equity.

Wow, an AP gets paid that much
Maybe I should stick around consulting longer 😂😂😂
