Get the sign on and relocation bonus. Plus more equity definitely. L6 should be around 300-320k

C1, why would relocation be offered unless you have to move…?

Please share overall RSU offered - total for 4 years. This is what we calculate as part of TC.

Also, now the vesting schedule is a bit different from new offers and not 25/25/25/25 anymore.

Thanks G3! Very helpful to have a reference range!

Is this Bay/NYC? Are these the numbers offered to you?
Definitely ask for more equity, that seems low.
You’ve gotten higher standard bonus than most.

like

OP is correct. It increases by level. 20% for L6 is standard.

It is also quite normal to get more than your target bonus as yoh grow into your role (ie. I’ve gotten 19-23% for 15% target bonus in past few years based on performance)

likehelpful

Were you offered a signing bonus? There may be room to negotiate on that

Thanks for this suggestion to pursue sign-on bonus as well.

Are these first set of numbers? Have you shared TC expectations? Do you have competing offers?

No competing offers since pursuits at AWS, FB, etc didn’t work out. I have not explicitly shared my TC expectations yet, but the recruiter shared these figures during our initial call.

Curious, how many YOE do you have and how many YOE as a SM?

Hello everyone. I interviewed at Google last month and was rejected after the 2nd interview (non-tech role). I will definitely apply again after 6-12 months but since I didn’t make it to the on-site round, how likely are the chances that Google will reach out to me again in the near future?

I will also appreciate referrals at FAANG companies (non-tech business roles). My most recent role has been of an Executive (early professional stage). Thank you :)
