Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I typically always wait for the review cycle. That is not to say you have to do that. I do think timing matters though.
A reorg is the right time. Since they are looking at expenses. If you wait for the review cycle its usually already decided at that point. The earlier the better.
Have the conversation through out the year with your manager, meet to see if you're on track to goals and set the expectation throughout the year.
The thing with raises is it's not a democratic process - waiting until the PM cycle leaves you at a disadvantage because budget for raises is often allocated already, and if you're asking for 10% (hypothetically), they may have allocated 3% for you, and don't have room to give you the other 7% - especially at the last minute.
These decisions are made before PM cycle start in most cases. With some edge cases, where high performers get bigger raises. But I STRONGLY recommend laying the ground work before the PM cycle.
Also track your goals, achievements and wins - so that when you're having the PM cycle you can point to all your wins, achievements and goals that you've hit as justification for WHY you deserve that raise.
I would ask your company to see if there is any process around this. Some companies won't even consider a salary increase in between certain periods.
A lot of stuff in the air right now with a reorg
I would base it off AOP. Ours happens around September, so I would start the conversation in June or July for it to be considered. If approved/accepted, it would probably happen in February or March.
The sooner the better. Let them start the delay tactics now and after you’ve been asking for a year they’ll give it to you or expect you to have a counteroffer.
I like to provide a list of accomplishments for the year to my manager prior to the reviews, so they're aware of what was accomplished, because memories are short and they may not remember much beyond the last couple of weeks or maybe a month
