I’d not expect more than a couple % points of negotiating room. It’s worth calling out that you need to factor in the generally good WLB here, very large 401k match (among other great benefits), and high upside + stability of our stock.

I left consulting 5 years ago for a slight salary dip here to start, but have consistently earned ~40% more TC here every year than if I would’ve stayed.

Congrats on the offer! How many YOE and level at D, and what’s your total comp offer?

Google is pretty strict on base and bonus target. Try to negotiate sign on bonus and equity.

smart

Negotiate equity and sign on bonus. I didn't and it was a missed opportunity.

I just joined from consulting. I was able to negotiate a couple thousand up from my base salary initial offer, but I still got a slight pay cut from where I was at. I express what number I wanted and then they went up4k but added a signing bonus and 40k more equity. I did the math and with the trajectory in consulting by y2 with the vesting at Google, not considering salary increase, Im gonna make more money than if I stayed and dont have sales metrics!!

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
