So what will? Companies negotiate when they believe you won’t accept their offer. You can go tell your Google recruiter that you read online that top of band is $X and that you want that number, but in 90% of cases that won’t work. But even more than that, many people think knowing the compensation data is the most important part of a negotiation, but it’s not.

2022 numbers are coming in higher than the 2021 numbers listed above, and it’s critical to know the full range for each component to optimize your negotiation. So now you've got the compensation data, are you ready to negotiate? Not quite.įirst off, comp data is constantly changing. If you aren't familiar with Google levels, skip to the bottom to read this. Note: levelling is critical to understanding compensation bands. However, you often don't start receiving these until the end of year 2 The standard assumption at Google is that you will receive 25% of your initial grant as a new refresher grant each year. This is fairly disingenuous as many other companies have the same or stronger stock refreshers as Google (especially Apple and Facebook). Google stock refreshers: Google recruiters will use refreshers as justification for not matching year 3 and 4 equity from competing offers.Each level has different bonus target which you will see listed below. Google performance bonus: Google has very stable performance bonuses (~80% of people hit targets).Its signing bonus component is middle of the pack - usually lower than Facebook but higher than companies like Microsoft Google signing bonus: Google only gives signing bonuses in year 1 (unlike some other companies such as Amazon, Uber, etc.).The shares you receive will be distributed every month, which is the most frequent vesting cadence in the industry At first glance this is a positive change, but they use it during negotiations to inflate the year 1 value and avoid matching competing offers. You still vest over 4 years but you now receive most of your equity in the first 2 years - 33%, 33%, 22%, 12%. Google equity (RSUs): Google switched its equity vesting schedule in early 2021.
