When a job at Google offers base pay + equity + benefits etc. how much can one likely expect the total value of the add-ons to be? I understand it probably varies a lot but with roles etc but I am just trying to get a basic sense to compare it to other companies that provide total comp clearly. For example is a 200k base offer at Google + everything else comparable to a 300k offer (with no equity)in another industry? Appreciate any insights. Thanks

All in all I’d rather take higher base 9/10 times. Bonus only comes once a year and can be harder to incorporate into budget (or quarterly if you’re on a sales plan). Equity can be volatile and you have periods where you can’t sell, etc. I’d rather a $250k base versus a $270 TC for example, personally. I may be in the minority there

Base always wins out. That said, it depends on by how much.

If you have a high enough RVU package, your stocks are disbursed monthly. So you can treat that pretty much like guaranteed pay.

Likewise, barring getting a meets or needs improvement, your bonus is guaranteed. Most of the company is standardized to a Significant impact rating which has a 1.25x bonus multiplier.

So, let’s say you are coming in as an L6 with the following comp offer: 200K base, 400K initial stock offer, 20% bonus.

Your average comp across those four years would be: $350K. Since Google front loads vesting, first year comp would actually be $402K.

Annual stock refreshers are dependent on level, location, job ladder, and rating, but would likely be a 4-year grant of 100-120K. So once you hit your new-hire RSU grant expires, you’re averaging about $100K a year from stock (not including price increases or decreases).
