Google wants me to relocate to Chicago for a job. How is the relocation package? I was told I would receive the details after signing an offer.

I would push back on that. How can they not give you the full details of an offer before you accept an offer?

I just moved from Chicago to Bay area for Google. The relocation package was absolutely outstanding, more than covered the cost of the move

Unfortunately I don't know exactly what your amounts will be since I think that depends on your level and city, but I have never heard of somebody not being very happy with it

I assume amount increases with level. As an L5, I got 73 points, or $32K cash. 73 points is enough for a white-glove move for a fully furnished 4br house and temp housing + rental car for 3 months. You’ll be taken care of.
I took the cash out. Beware, it’s taxed. So I ended up with ~$20K

What role were you offered? I’m about to apply and would love to hear what they’re sending offers for in Chicago. Thanks! Best of luck

Depends on hire level. As L3, I got 21 pts through plus relocation which was about $10k in benefits with the best options

That looks very bad. If you agree to a location and sign the offer knowing you won’t move can get you blackballed.

Which team is this?

Google relocation is pretty good, up to 14k cash post tax. They also offer a moving service/ package in lieu of the cash.

Also important to note that Google has a very easy internal tool for location transfers. The process takes a few weeks to finalize, but as long as you have your manager’s support, you can make the change. That being said, if you don’t want to move to chicago, bring it up now

Friend used his assistance to buy a house....heard it's a really nice package

They’ll give you a rough number for lump sum. Just push your recruiter for it.

The actual relocation package has many moving parts and will be tough to explain for your recruiter.

What ended up happening with the relo? I am experiencing the same thing, won’t know the package details until I accept

Relocation package was very generous (much more than I was expecting). They outsource it to another company which is kind of a pain to work with though. I’d still definitely suggest taking the points over cash.

I have heard that the relo help is amazing

For a L6 position, the cash-out option is $40k or a point system with moving assistance
