Believe that this is largely dependent on team. Noogler hat is across the board given, but then it is different based on Product Area. Have heard Cloud is more prone to give out swag. In either case, I haven’t heard of an allowance - it’s just sent to you.

Got an offer for non-tech PgM (finance side) in Google Cloud. They told me I'm on the boarder of L5 but decided put me at L4. I also have other competing offers with higher comp than Google's preliminary offer (aka. range shared by my recruiter as comp is still working on the numbers). Thoughts on negotiation? Timeline to move from L4 to L5? Thanks!
