Has anyone at Google relocated from San Francisco to a lower cost of living city (Denver, Atlanta, Austin, Miami, etc.) ? If so, how much lower was your salary after readjustments?

Idk but Denver ain’t cheap

like

Yeah but more expensive than the other cities listed was my point

TL;DR 20-25% between Bay area and these cities. 3 key details:

1. Google pays location market rate not based on COL. So even if Denver is $$, it pays based on what other companies pay locally.

2. I believe alll of these cities are under US_NATIONAL, so would be all the same. Bay Area is Super premium and you have Premium in between (Boston, LA, etc.).

3. I got a 15% difference between Super premium to premium in 2018. Then another 10% to move to Austin in 2020 on a slighly different role with similar pay band.

Thanks!! Super insightful

Following!

They adjust if move to lower cost city? Do they adjust if move to higher cost :)

I think they do!

uplifting

Must be different across job ladders. I lost 10% for SF -> LA but just 5% for LA -> AUS. PM.

It also varies over time as each market changes YoY and at potentially a different rate/pace. I was in Finance when I did the first move and EngPgM on the second move.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
