I just cleared Google Cloud Consultant interviews. The recruiter sent an internal review questionnaire which will decide the terms of my offer. What should I put as my salary expectations? I have a Masters and total ~6 years of experience. The interviews went very well so I’m expecting an L5 offer. I did check Levels.fyi, but it has mostly SDE, PM salaries (~$300 for L5). Thoughts?

I dont think it's on the same ladder as SDE. I would expect, L5 250K TC (140-150k/base + 15% bonus + 60-70k/RSU/yr). Ask for 50k sign on
If L4 200k TC
If L6 300k TC

I’m an L5. I don’t think we give 60-70k/yr initial grant offers anymore, I didn’t get that in 2019, and especially for Austin which is considered a lower pay band tier. In like 2017-2018, PSO was offering 60-70k RSUs/yr for the initial stock grant.

Maybe I got lowballed 🤷‍♂️. Oh well, I needed to leave a bad situation from my old company and they were offering more comp at Google even with that lower RSU amount.

Google doesn't low ball offers - that's for sure

A few things to know.
1. Google has three pay bands for the locality - Austin is in our lowest band.
2. Consultants don't get that faang gives their people equity so that they do better as the company does better. It takes about 2-3 years for the ridiculous Google pay to hit - that happens via stock appreciation
3. To understand your total pay you need to model out your total comp I'm years 2-3-4?
4. Annual total comp increase have been 15-25% for me.
5. For example...if we get the stock price that I expect next year....I will have doubled my starting pay in 3-4 years.

Hi G2, if you exclude stock appreciation, then what do your annual comp % increases usually look like?

You will probably get a level 4 (75% chance).
If you end up there - I expect a starting total comp of around 180k. Model your pay per year by using 1.18-1.2.

Hey OP, any updates on your final offer? I am set to begin negotiations for the same role as an L4 in Chicago and was doing research on what I should be targeting

Hey, I got $150k base, 15% bonus, $20k joining and $245k in equity vested over 4 years. This is for L5 level. Good luck for your negotiations!

Hi OP and PWC1, i have an interview for the same role in 2 weeks. Can you help me out with a few questions?

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
