Hi friends, I’m expecting an offer from Google Cloud. I haven’t shared my salary expectation with HR and expect Google Cloud to give me their best package. In this case, do people still negotiate? If so, what / how would they negotiate?

I used to work in Compensation Operations at Google. They will provide you with the lowest possible offer that fits within their parameters of pay parity in their bands. If you want the best package, be up front with their expectations and see what happens. Your best negotiating levers are on sign-on bonus and RSUs. (Salary is only marginally negotiable, and the higher your starting salary, the lower your salary increases in the future). If you say nothing now, you'll start the negotiating dance at a significant disadvantage

Why do you expect Google to give their best package? Always negotiate equity and sign on.

I have no idea because I don’t know what your current comp or level is and what Google is giving you

You'll most probably get the 25% above your current salary. But always ask for more.
Easiest is negotiating on RSU's. They usually give a good number, but if it is closer to what you already get from your current employer, ask for more.
Tell them that you're flexible on where the increase goes, sign on bonus or RSU's, but you'll prefer RSU's. Always ask. Never hurt anyone.

We give the worst opening offers hoping that the name gets you to come in cheaper. Research the bands and the locality adjustments. Equity has the most room for negotiation.

Always negotiate. Even with Google.

For posterity, I just received the offer detail from Google and it was even lower than my current salary. I didn’t share my comp expectation with the recruiter before I initiated the interview (since that’s what some people on the internet recommends). I have got to work hard to negotiate.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
