Got a verbal offer from FAANG and just 2 rounds of negotiations have been going on for the past 3 weeks. Its like each round goes on for 10 days... Recruiter keeps saying he doesnt know when the comp team will get back. Is this normal? I cant wait for all this to get over and look at the formal written offer letter

Take this as evidence of better WLB - while some of us consultants are so used to churning through holidays Google folks have already checked out. Be patient and follow up in the New Year :)

We don't revoke offers ....we put you through so many interviews that by the end of it we are rock solid in our desire to have you join the group

Not a whole lot. They were close to my ask so I just asked to come up in equity which they did. Google don’t do A lot of negotiation on base salary. Most of the negotiations come by form of equity

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
