Google offer for L5 with ML background
Base: $190k RSU: $720k / 4 years I have a total of 8 years of experience, 4 of which at LinkedIn. Thoughts?
$720k is L6 offer. Try to push for L6 title to get much better refresh in your review. L5 you will have steep drop in comp after 4 years
Haha.. Good luck getting an L6 at G. Based on my understanding, it's nearly impossible to get L6 offer for an industry hire. Also, L6 at G is equivalent to Architect at other companies.
Wait do you not get equivalent refreshers?
Strong offer
OP, is that your initial offer? Do you have any competing offers?
Initial offer, but I had competing offers beforehand. So they matched and said it’s non negotiable.
What were the competing offers (company, title)?
Yes 720k rsu is high. I got the same position (SWE ML) in with 6.5 yoe and 3 at LinkedIn and my RSU was 520k with 200k base.
L5 or 4?
L5
TC is ~400k. I’d say that beats most L5 offers easily.
Because the median is 330k lol
Uber and Lyft will easily beat that TC. L6 eng at U/L will get you 500K TC no problem. Snapchat will give you 1M TC but so will that Nigerian prince..
Lol.
I got an offer from Uber as well. Not even close.
How did you get your background in ML?
Pretty good.
One of the strongest L5 offers I have seen. What is your LI level?
Sweet! What’s an L5 in Google? Comparable to L5 at Amazon?
No, L6 at Amazon maps to L5 at G
