Interviewing for a program manager position at Google. I’m hoping for $135k. Is that reasonable?

Currently making $100k in Dallas, plus the typical travel perks and expenses.

Dude. Ask for $200! Cost of living is going to kick your ASS from Dallas. Don’t forget state income tax now, too. Seriously Dallas $100K vs $200K SF is only a slight bump in overall disposable income (post tax, rent, car, etc.)

likesmart

when they ask for your asking, say 155k!

Comp at Google is about 60% base, 15% bonus, 25% stock. Not sure what level they’re bringing you in at, but a L3 PgM should be close to 170k TC. 4 = $200k

likehelpfulsmart

135 base, maybe. Realistically, 150-160 base + bonus + stock (100k plus). Overall about 200k (with 25% stock vesting per year).
The rule for Silicon Valley is simple- your base pay covers your daily lifestyle (40%tax, 40%rent+car, 20% food/utils).
Your savings/wealth building happens from stocks.

That is more than reasonable. Especially if you live in SF!

$135k seems extremely low for a program manager in Mountain View. I wouldn’t move there for that. Set your standards higher.

135 is insanely low. If you aren’t going to do the research, let them lead with the number.

Agree with the comments ask for at least 175. Also just know your benefits will be crazy better. They probably no longer ask for current salary. With the CA and NY laws many big companies like google no longer do. So go for what you think you are worth!

Also cost of living change is going to be awful. I say this as someone who lived in SF for 6 years.

Hey @D1, how long did your process last ? I’m currently interviewing for a program manager position as well, but the process has become really slow all of a sudden. Wondering if this is how it usually is.

I work with great people. Really can’t say anything bad about my firm in general either. But…I still dislike the entire premise of law firm life, the billable hour, etc..
