I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

Congrats!! THIS IS HUGE. Honestly, for an L5 at AWS, that’s a pretty solid offer, especially in Herndon. It’s pretty much in line with industry averages for that level and role. There’s usually some room to negotiate, especially on signing bonuses or stock, but base salaries at AWS tend to be pretty locked in by level. Might still be worth asking if there’s any flexibility, though, it never hurts!
Thank you for the feedback.
