Hey All, I got an offer from Google for L4 Solutions Consultant, remote from Canada. They have offered Level 4 with a base of $120k CAD and 15% bonus with Sign on bonus of $12k CAD. Total Stock Options of $113k vesting in 4 years.
I got 9 years of TE and 6 Years of Relevant Experience for the job. I am already making almost the same today. Do you think I am low balled? What is the best I can negotiate. Recruiter says it’s best and final offer! Kindly suggest! Google

A few things.

Solution consultant is our moderately technical group
So if you are actually technical - you should look for a different - more technical roles. I'd look for a technical solutions consultant role

Also - you mentioned years of experience. It appears that you did not convey your level of technical depth - if you had - you would have gotten a level 5

Your interviewers would have evaluated that. My guess is that while your skills are very technical elsewhere ...here they are par for the course.

Now onto your offer

Our bonus is typically 16.5-19% - it's rare to only get a 15% bonus

You get equity refreshes yearly 25-40k

Also - if you do really well - you should be able to get promoted in 24 months

G3 is (unfortunately) right, but could have phrased his/her second response better. Remote pays the same if you are based (primary residence) is the same area as where the office is located.

No offense. 9 years of exp and L4? Honestly don’t understand the logic why people are willing to take such offers just bc it’s Google? Lol

Im with G5 that everyone has a different perspective. Its true that for many in consulting-to-tech- exit ramp (reflective of many on FB), level is critical.
We might all be a little more sane if we solved for a job that fits into our life vs a singular focus on the “best” combination of prestige/comp (<< what I would’ve told my younger self who would’ve ignored it :) )

Take it

You end up making more in the long run. The way our bonuses and raises are set up, you'll be happy you switched after your first year. I would negotiate for a higher equity at least -- they can go much higher for equity only if you're willing to walk away from role
