How should I interpret “with no vesting cliff” in the following statement in my offer “We'll award you xxxxxx USD worth of Google Stock Units which
will vest evenly over four years with no vesting cliff.”

Does it mean that I can even start in January 2022 and I don’t need to wait December 2023 to have my first stocks vested?

PS: I’ve got an offer 🥳🥳🥳

So I think that Bitcoin fork is super similar to a stock split at its core, from a trading perspective. What are folks thinking? Selling is a better option than hodling as market may incline more towards one or the other?

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a repeat post, I’m new here. I recently came into an inheritance and i’m trying to figure out where/ how to invest it. Does anyone have any advice on some type of company/ person to talk with? I know some people at Morgan Stanley but the amount is too low to work with them. Thanks!

What checking account service do you use?

Has anyone had success transferring Chase Ultimate Reward points to a friend? I see that only “household” transfers are allowed but don’t know if there’s leeway with the term. Worried chase might flag the accounts or stop the transfer if the billing addresses don’t match. The transfer is only for 40K

Hi all, I am early in my career in Tech. 23 years old but very concerned with CA rising housing cost. I’m based out in the Walnut Creek area but understand that houses go 2Million+ in the Bay. Thoughts on getting whole life insurance and taking a loan out against around age 35? Thinking I can leverage an aggressive savings approach this way and use the FHA loan. Any ideas? Pros/Cons to this?

Curious about net worth milestones. How long did it take you to go from 100k - 1m? What was your “story” (income/savings rate/asset allocation)? I realize many probably achieved this in the bull market we’ve been in, but still curious.

Hi all! I’m new! I started the year off planning to save for a home for myself, then rates skyrocketed. So we’re holding off. Fast forward to the final quarter of the year and we were presented with the idea of a residential assisted living facility. The problem there is we’d still need to acquire property in order to run one. The only difference is the RAL would be a business and is already registered as such. Does anyone have any experience here?

In all seriousness, how insane may it be to invest in Venezuela now? Would only consider if I partnered with a local/native and would obviously have to wait around a decade for any return.

In a perfect world how much would you want to make a year to both pay off your loans and live a good life? I think I'd need to make upwards of $200k to pay off my loans, take care of my family and live a fulfilling life.

Hi Folks,

I've recently cleared all rounds of a financial analyst role, recruiters are coming back with an offer. I have 3YOE relevant experience; what can I expect in terms of base + bonus +equity. Role will be in Austin, TX. Any insights appreciated.

Thanks

Are there any large differences between a Strategy lead and Program manager positions? Looking to transition and in the process for a couple of roles. Mainly concerned about job role, longer term progression and internal mobility (will be moving countries in a few years). Speaking to the HMs and reading the job descriptions show very similar job responsibilities for the two roles. Coming in most likely as an L5 in the US

Heard a rumor that Google has stopped hiring. Can any googlers confirm?

Is it possible to negotiate upto 350k TC for L5 S&O in Bay Area if someone has a competing offer of this number?

How many roles did you apply to before securing a an interview? I applied to ~10 roles in the past 6 months, got 1 interview last December (didn’t go well and didn’t clear the first round HM interview) — should I continue applying? I have a referral btw!

I work as a subcontractor for one of the data centers, is there any way for me to become an actual part of Google? Not a contractor? I thought I was signing up with Google, only found out literally a day before I started that it was a subcontractor and basically I’d be doing construction/infrastructure for the DC

Interviewed for S&O role and wanted to share. Recruiter told me to expect problem solving and stakeholder comm, behavioral and case type questions… It ended up being one 25-min interviewee-led case. I was surprised given all that I had read online about RRK and GCA and Googleyness and the pride Google has in its “unbiased”interview process… it felt like any other MBB interview where your case interviewer decides your fate… guess S&O is just like any consulting firm…

I am currently working in advertising with experience on fintech & CPG. I would like to work in tech marketing, specifically Google’s APMM program.
I’ve been studying some PM/PMM books/podcasts/videos, attending Google events, and want to keep learning more to try to prepare myself as much as I can.
What resources helped you get into product marketing/Google?
Has anyone here moved from advertising to tech?
Would love to hear from a marketer about their experience getting into Google.
Thank you

Any Googlers in the BizOps team care to point me to more info on the kind of work BizOps does, and expectations from the role? Also what level are folks in this team generally at? I’m a Sr.Manager at Deloitte.

Coming from McKinsey, Google health insurance seems a little worse. What other benefits exist that you all actually enjoy the most? I hear people talk a lot about Google benefits, but maybe the onboarding doesn’t do as good a job of showing that ? Side note-yet to join but excited!

Hi all. I just applied to a ''Strategic Partner Lead, News, Large Partner Solutions'' at Google (Canada). I was relatively confident as I think my background is pretty much a perfect fit, but I should have asked for a referral first. Is it too late to get a referral if I already applied? Is a referral pretty much a sine qua non condition to get an interview?
Thanks!
