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.

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.

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

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
