Hi All!
I am currently a Senior Software Engineer(Backend) with 4 YOE. My current CTC is 21LPA (All Fixed) with additional Yearly bonus. I got a call from Google (Pune/Bangalore/Remote) for Software Engineer - Backend. I have the following doubts but any insights are welcome -
1. Does the lower designation offered make any difference?
2. Kinda ambiguous, but what kind of hike or ballpark pay can I expect?
3. Any similar interviews experiences or focus areas I should prepare for?

Ask for your new firm to cover it
Oh yeah they’re giving me a $25k sign-on bonus but payment would be ~30 days after I start hence why I’m looking to do a payment plan rather than just being out the amount up front.
Does the payback include any taxes you paid?
Yes since it was paid out in 2020 and I’m repaying now I have to pay the full grossed up amount and receive a deduction for overpayment when I file taxes for 2021
I had to do the same thing. Talk to your talent rep (they’ll assign you one when you resign) and have a date in mind for the final repayment, they’ll ask you
For reference I negotiated mine to be a month out, ended up paying it back sooner since my new signing bonus hit right away
