Hi there, please evaluate my non-FAANG offer vs how much Google would pay in equivalent role. I'm curious if pre-sales is among the better paid non-tech roles or I just got a great offer

L4 pre-sales remote role, TX
$165k base
25% bonus paid quarterly (6.25% each quarter) if meeting utilization
$80k RSUs in total over 4 years
$12K signing bonus
About $226k TC
4 YOE

Your L3/L4 offer at Google will mostly come in lower than your current non FAANG offer.

Appreciate the input. I assume if I was at least an above average performer in GCP pre-sales (customer engineer?) my career and compensation would have a better trajectory than most big tech non-FAANG companies? Or is that not necessarily the case and I would need to jump around to keep stacking TC?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.
