I received an offer from Google and I’m quite disappointed about the compensation. I applied for a Program Manager position at Google Cloud located in Waterloo. i’m currently up for promotion this quarter and am projected to make $132K . Google offered me a TC that is below this. I have 3 YOE. I would appreciate all your help and input to negotiate this offer as I’m super interested in working for Google.

Google’s offer: Base = 92K, Equity = 56K, Bonus= 15% of base. L3.

I’m sorry you feel that you’re being lowballed, but, that’s what Google appears to be doing nowadays. As far as your comp goes, is this before or after a round (or many) of negotiations? I’ve seen base of $110k for L3 in Canada, don’t think Waterloo is an exception. RSU can most certainly be negotiated up, I’d suggest you start at $150k and reach somewhere in the middle. That should put you at a competitive TC. ATB!

OP not really sure whats the comp band for Program Manager ladder but I just accepted an offer for 185k TC at Waterloo office for a tech role for L3.
I asked for 130k base plus 15% bonus plus 37k cad per year equity
They gave me 100k base plus 15% bonus plus 74k cad per year equity. In USD, Total they gave me 169k equity for 4 year which translates to 218k CAD I think you can ask for at least 180k of equity. (USD). Lets see what they say, you can meet them in middle around 160 170

Is that the average equity annually or total over the 4 years?

4 years, due to the TC which OP mentioned.
