I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

A large number of people are joining the PM group as lateral transfers from internal positions
People are joining from other highly technical groups.
From the PSO org they are being drawn from the niche roles. security, data engineering, AI/ML, Application development, networking, etc
From the sales org they are coming from the same groups.
The easy way to spot the difference between sales and PSO roles is that niche tech sales role append the word specialist to the end of the job description.
PSO roles end with word consultant
If you join Google and plan to do the lateral transfer. You need to be at the top of your class. You also need a top reputation. Developing those two things takes about 2 years.
Your insight is extremely helpful OP
+1, great accurate insights
Hi OP, do you have any insight on PM qualifications for other groups?

From what I am seeing Google cloud is the most open / easiest to join of all the alphabet companies.
I am assuming that the other project mgrs....especially the ones in nature business have more stringent PM requirements or are looking for more experienced PMs
Very helpful. What's PSO again?
Thanks ! Can you clarify what do they actually help with ? Are these folks cloud architects, project managers , sales folks or all of them ?
