    To those who think I'm arrogant or ungrateful because I turned down Google, that's like saying someone's arrogant or ungrateful because they rejected a $9/hr job over a $10/hr one. I worked at a restaurant washing dishes at $10/hr for nearly a year in the past (when I was a student), but never have I once thought of myself as arrogant or ungrateful for ditching another restaurant that offered $9/hour. There's nothing wrong with valuing yourselves guys. Lastly, I just want to say that I value your thoughts and you're free to speculate, but you can't generalize who I am from a 6-minute video alone.

There's even an internal joke where the excuse for the lowball is "we pay 5-10% of the market" lmao. But overall I think it boils down to the team (at least for me). If the difference between the offers is around 20%, I would choose one which has better WLB and more interesting work. I hope you enjoy your new endeavor!
    P.S. Was that for L4? I believe that would be high band of L4 or low band for L5, latter is more likely though.

      @2RosarioVampire Рік тому +2

      And that's why Google can get away with : low leveling (disrespecting candidate), lying (front loading), and lowballing (much lower offers).
      If you don't have any external offers, Google will do anything to ensure you get screwed over. And if you have competing offers, you still get screwed over but less.
      Compensation wise, the entire company is a joke. But it is very good at selling its image to the public as this 'dream place'.
      Internally, people who are experienced cannot get promoted after senior. And get blocked in their career growth.
      Still a great place though. But can definitely pay much below market. Also, Google hires almost everyone now (exaggerating) relative to the past.
      Big company ==> Many hires ==> Hiring bar falls. Same for all tech firms.

    • @Jarryd999

      @@2RosarioVampire Why is front loading a lie? I would have loved a front loaded offer when I started. Silicon Valley is so promiscuous, if you're staying longer than 2 years you're stale - I want most of my stock in those first two years!
      Also, Google does not do "anything to ensure you get screwed over" otherwise retention would be awful, which it's not. They do what they can get away with, and clearly that's a lot because life there is fucking awesome. Sure, getting to staff is really hard, and promo in general is slower than other companies, but IMO that's equally balanced by the rest of the package. If you need that promo, you can probably interview at L+1 elsewhere if you've been performing at L+1 anyway.

    Google takes way too freaking long during team matching, hiring committee approval etc, honestly not even worth interviewing there imo due to lowballs and snails pace. Almost every other tech company will have their offer/decision to you in a week because they don’t want to lose you. Google on the other hand doesn’t seem to care and brand recognition and free food carries enough people through the hiring pipeline that these negatives on candidates experience aren’t addressed.

    I think for most of the big tech companies, it is well known that you need to have competing offers in order to get higher offer. For Google, there are actual conditions on how the comp team can offer you what package under what conditions. My recruiter told me very clear about these at the beginning. It is not that they tried to lowball you. Giving them the screenshot of your competing offer is pretty common.

      but in this case we're talking about companies like Google... where RSU is pretty good, and I believe they only have a 2 yr vesting period, also pretty good. What's actually funny or silly or even a possibly a mistake on PK's part... if the stock went and stays down... that's the better time to acquire it... share's will go up (unless I'm missing something else how they work) - it's the people that already have shares that want to liquidate now that would have a worse profit.

I got back into community college for CS last fall as an undergrad at 28, 29 now, and knocking out the pre reqs plus an intro to cs class before transferring to uni hopefully sooner rather than later. Been a bit overwhelmed with understanding the best course of action at the moment, what would you consider most important during this stage? Im being told internships during the summer are the most important for experience, yet at the same time, taking summer classes will allow me to graduate sooner. Having gone through all this, in retrospect, what do think is most important here? Im at the age where I know to be patient, however I'd like to optimize my time as best as one can. Any tips would be welcome, love the channel and respect the time you spend making these videos. Thanks.
