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?
Chief
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.
