      Awesome Food, great talented coworkers,

      Cons

      i can not find any yet.

    2. Okaaaay 🐠 need some opinions on this. I turned down B4 to come to Google (at a smaller salary admittedly). The partner from the B4 reached out to me with a pretty significant offer, I know him personally as we worked together at my old company which has its benefits.. Offered M1, $160k base, $10k sign on, and 20% bonus. Currently at $115k base, 30k/yr in RSU and 15% bonus. I’m a PgM at Google and still a consultant by definition, figure I’ll be in consulting for the long run. Thoughts on this?

      3. I received a verbal offer from Google and now I have to tell my recruiter my expected base, bonus, and equity per year. The position is L6 and location is Washington DC. I worked for 15-yrs in the federal govt, so I have no idea what to request. Any advice?

        Where is this from?
      4. What is the TC range of L5 Google, non-tech ads business, in Toronto Canada? I was referred by a frend to a Senior Manager role (similar role and industry) at Amazon Advertising Canada. The recruiter asked for my expected salary range, but I’m not very familiar with L5 equivalent salary range in North America/Canada. What is L5 Google equal to in Amazon? What should be the TC range? L5 GCS Google, JAPAC region, 9 YoE (5 yr relevant to ads biz), MBA.
