I just finished my final interview with Google as an Account Strategist. They said the base salary is 81k & my currently base salary is $120k and 15% bonus.. it seems like ill be taking a huge pay cut if i take the job... I think it could be worth it depending on how quickly i can move to the next role...

Any ex account strategists have advice on how long it took them to move to the next role, what the comp difference was, and what roles you transitioned into?

Thanks in advance!

What’s the location? That’s either a high L2 salary or super low L3. It will take you at LEAST 2yrs to move up to the next level, 1.5 at the fastest. The role is quite the grind, targets are getting more unattainable, and it has high attrition. Very much a “jumping off” role, just for people who want to get a foot in the door at Google. Source: am in that role

like

My initial offer in Chicago for the same role at L3 was $88k base. Your monthly take home will be between $3-5k depending on how much you contribute to retirement, insurance, etc. if you hit your targets then that’s an extra $4-$8k per quarter

like

Are you aware of the level of the role? If it’s L3 I’d say it’s around the band. Were there any other components of the total compensation ie. Bonus and stock options? Did the recruiter indicate that there’s room for negotiations?

like

I' not sure of the level of the role- the negotiator mentioned that there isnt much room to negotiate base but there is bonus, commission, and stock options included. She said that with all those they can get me close to my current salary.. not sure if I'd want to jump ship for "close" - I'm defintiely going to try to negotiate but she did say shes never seen anyone get close to my base

You won't move to the next role in the next 2 years at best. Negotiate as much as you can...

Hi, having my first interview tmr. Any advice you can give out? Also, may I ask why would you consider to take the pay cut for this role? Just because it is Google?

Base pay is a cute but equity and commission make it a similar pay that’s why I consider the role plus the fact it’s Google

Hi I was wondering if I can send you a direct message? I had a few questions regarding this role and the process.
