ironically google pay is competitively low when youre at that tier. having worked there and other places google pays the least out of top tier companies. (no im not considering amazon or msft as the same level)
I believe you. I was shocked by how low Amazon offered for a senior-ish position. I walked away from it. Went to a medium-sized high-growth pre-IPO company with Facebook+ comp. FAANG is overrated.
