I would have to renege on Stripe to take Google.

Stripe
Location: SEA
First Year TC: ~250k
Recurring TC: ~210k
Team: team matching happens post-offer

Google
Location: TBD
First Year TC: ?
Recurring TC: ?

Google TC might be too low, and I don't think I can nego because Stripe offer is signed. I want fast promos and am willing to put in work, but I've also seen reports of Stripe having terrible WLB, looking for something in the middle.
Unsure about reneging, don't want to get blacklisted? by Stripe
Also care about resume value.

fast promos aren't super common at google

#

ur prolly better off at stripe

#

also if u know u can get a pretty good team at stripe that's a good move

#

there's a lot of bad teams at g

Eh team dependent - a girl on my team got to senior in < 3 years

Yeah, my team just has a crazy amount of scope

#

that's super rare tho, no point in banking on that

#

just l3 -> l4 is quoted as like 2.5 years on average iirc

stable kraken
#

Idk tbh, another friend of mine got to l4 in less than 1.5 years on another org

#

i mean that's just anecdotal, im pretty sure there's some internal documents that cover stuff like this and i recall 2.5 years being quoted as the avg

#

ppl talk ab it occasionally in googlers

#

just checked yeah, company avg is 2.5 years

#

stripe avg is prolly a lot less

#

but it was < 2 yrs modal outcome for l3 -> l4

#

could be because they removed l3 being terminal so people feel the urge to push to l4 quicker

#

also not sure if this has changed in recent years since but

go stripe if you want max tc

#

google if wlb

#

if both choose based on better team

#

both have similar resume value
