In terms of prestige, is Google better than the rest of FAANG? Meaning it is worth to go to Google for 30-40k less TC for the same role?

Having worked at other FAANGs I do admit that Google does offer better overall value proposition….

IMO it depends what you’re looking for- wlb, cool/interesting work, career opportunities, etc.

I work at G in DC, a non-Google hub city and the cache is very strong because it’s unique to be at G. Amazon and Microsoft have pretty decent presence so there’s less of a cool factor. I’m speaking in terms of the value for future job prospects vs social cache

I'm wondering why Google doesn't give feedback for not being moved forward in the interview process? Especially when the interviewer was a jerk? Suspect it may have been just a personal whim. Thoughts?

Google has 140,000 employees approx at present . They were at 114K in 2019 , 89K in 2018, and so on . Point is,Google is hiring by truckloads. They have tried to stick with a ‘small growing company’ hiring process and scale it out to several 1000s . Don’t expect feedbacks wherever mass recruitment is in play .

The Google brand isn't worth a pay cut if the alternative if an equal job at another faang. Also, 30-40k out of how much TC? Moving to Google for wlb makes sense, so if you can work 35 h/week at Google vs 55 elsewhere, and 30-40k is a 10% pay cut, then go for it.

I got an offer to leave Google for $50k more - but when accounting for the hours worked....my effective pay per hour at the new place would have gone down almost 33%

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
