Thinking of turning down a Google offer. 15 YO overall (5 year PgM exp), been a TVC at Google for 2 years doing the role I interviewed for (no direct conversation anymore, so I went though the full interview process). I got leveled at L4 (guessing interviews didn’t go that well) and the comp has been a bit underwhelming. WDYT fishes?

Base - 155k, Equity: 132k, bonus: 15%, Bay Area, PgM role

Down-leveled when I first joined consulting because I didn’t go to b-school and happens a lot. Sigh.

I'd decline the L4 and come back next year for L5.

I have bad experience with google interview too. It was my dream company, but the overall interview process made me rethink otherwise. Maybe we will do better without joining google, at least not now.

I don't know what you did the previous 10 years, but 5 years relevant experience and ~200k comp L4 PgM doesn't seem unreasonable to me....

That’s not direct reevant experience from Google POV. Interview performance matters a lot. Your interviewers have the possibility to say +/- 1 level and they didn’t.

The bar is also quite different for L4 vs L5 PgM (I’m an L5 interviewer). Comp seems reasonable for L4 IMO. And yes much harder these days with the recession looming to show off a competing offer. If I were you, I would also consider job security, benefits and perks. I would expect Google to let go TVC before FTEs…

Is my comp fair for a I/O Psych Master’s degree? I came in with about 1.5 YoE and started as a HC Consultant at 85k with 3k bonus. My new comp after 6 mos is 91.6k (w/AIP it will be around 96k at the end of the year). After talking with a few new consultants who worked here as interns (2-3 years) and don’t have grad degrees they are making around $96k BEFORE the adjustment.

Shouldn’t my grad degree be worth more? Let me know if I’m over thinking it!

Hi All, I recently got an offer from google. For the compensation, the recruiter had not come up with an offer and had repeatedly asked me for an estimate during compensation call. They matched the number that I gave her ($260k) based on my market research. Base is at $151k, 15%bonus , $261k/4 years. This is L4 PgM. Any negotiation ideas to bump up the base? Should I ask her or will it sound too greedy?
