Yes, but I had a better one that I was happier with lined up that I just had to wait 6 months for.

well yeah I turned down google which total compensation there is more than the startup I'm at. But I'm also playing dat unicorn startup gambling game so in the end it could be more here >_>

overall though I just didn't really get a good vibe from their on campus interview, wasn't interested in the teams I was being paired with, and I didn't want to do the commute from SF to Mountain View even with their buses. Was more interested in opportunities where I currently am.

I'm a senior software developer, Bachelors of Computer Science and 6 years job experience out of college.

Here's the Google average for my position. TC (total compensation) ~$353k.
  • $191k base salary
  • $124k stock (which typically increases in value over time as stock goes up)
  • $38k bonus
https://www.levels.fyi/company/Google/salaries/Software-Engineer/L5/ San-Francisco-Bay-Area/

My current position is TC ~$287k? or ???
  • $187k base salary (so similar here)
  • $10k bonus (smaller)
  • stock is trickier since it is private. My offer was $60k/year, then valuation increased that to $90k/year, refreshers try to keep it around there. But depending on an IPO (which we don't know when/if that will happen), that could even double or triple or go down (I'm hopeful though). So this is the biggest variance with Google. Also I don't actually have this money until a liquidation event.

Yeah, it was only a couple more grand than my current job, they were 40 minutes late to the interview and I was almost out the door and no one in the office was smiling.

Strung their offer along while I was waiting for a better one to come along, luckily it did.
