Evaluating offer from Goog for Sr. PM role (L6). Got a range already, ~180 Base + 20K sign on + $400K RSUs (vested over 4 yrs). Total comp ~300K. I am 3rd year Sr at pwc. Pros/cons of exit to tech?

It’s google. It’s the best place to work in the history of the humankind. Just go. Consulting will gladly take you back in a few years if you miss being miserable.

@OP - Sr. PM is not L6. I’d be surprised if your recruiter shared your level with you. If you find yourself unable to negotiate to 400k, you probably have an L5 offer

McK 1 - I am up for promotion to manager but even for M1 at pwc, I will be at ~160. Comp is not comparable for sure. I just can’t decide it I want to work for 7-8 years at relatively lower comp and shoot for partner or just start making more money now and eventually move into a director role at a tech company, google maybe.

D3 - Applied through a Googler referral. 2 phone interviews on hangout, one was more around backgroun, pwc, prior PM experience etc and 2nd was a case interview over hangouts which was new to me. Case was very relevant to google’s global expansion. Then on-sites. Case, technical, behavioral.

@M1: I live in a place that isn’t SF or NYC. L6 or L7 is probably my last promo before I’m asked to relocate, though. At L7 PM, you’re looking at money that makes even Palo Alto palatable

@PwC1: Vesting begins after a trial period that can be negotiated. Longest I’ve ever heard is a year, shortest is a month after one starts. Vesting schedule depends on how much money OP negotiates, but tldr you can totally count on that money.

Stocks are refreshed once a year based on perf., so if one gets promoted before the original 4-year grant runs out, TC should never drop

This isn’t even close. You could come back in four years at Director with the options vested.

I am always amazed how you can leave consulting for tech and double your salary. Offer looks fine. You can probably get a bit more equity. Much harder to reach $300k in consulting. Hard to think of downsides
