Has anyone’s offer got pulled? What could be the reason? Got an L5 offer TC 325k early March. A week later while I was asking for more RSUs the offer was pulled. Recruiter said they decided to “go a different direction for the team”. No other explanation was offered except that the recruiter said I may be asking for too much money which was a speculation. I haven’t put in a notice so dodged a bullet in this bad market. Last week I learned the role was filled. What could be happening here?

What probably happened was that they had two candidates they really liked, and the other person was happy with the 325k offer lol

You got exceptionally greedy. That’s what happened.

This is very rare - I've personally never seen this happen. You cannot take 2 candidates to the offer stage for one role. So its likely that the role was deprioritized or change in direction.

You can't extend two offers, but there's nothing to stop you from revoking it and going back to one of your other finalists.

325k TC is a pretty good L5 offer (top of band is like mid 300s)

Ditto what Google 1 said. Negotiating from my experience is always expected so there must have been something else

You didn’t have as much leverage as you thought. In today’s market, every job rec gets multiple highly qualified candidates, that’s the reality now.

And was this for an eng/PM role? If not, I’m surprised L5 pays 325k.

That is weird. I negotiated the hell out of my initial offer with no fear at all of it getting pulled.

Are they trying to get you a team match for a new role or is it over for you?

Am HC-approved hence I had an offer so they will match me to another team. But annoying to think I had it and then lost it

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
