mighty dirge u can easily negotiate bonus up to 30 if u say u have google or competing offers

nah I didn't do that and got these other offers later

#

I asked for ICT3 and they are insistent on ICT2 without 2-3 YOE + masters degree, so probably not

#

also asked about loc, they will not budge regarding austin

G gaps bbg unless u wanna afk NY rest of ur life

wispy jewel Feb 23, 2026, 2:12 AM

#

what do u think about the randoms that get laid off after 1 year tho

#

idk if its a perf issue cuz they are ngmi or just unlucky

#

ive heard of a few cases like that

#

im leaning towards goog unless its gcp/devices org

untold sage Feb 23, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

not sure

#

G gaps bbg tho and apple just no way

wispy jewel im leaning towards goog unless its gcp/devices org

If its gcp/devices what would u pick

wispy jewel Feb 23, 2026, 2:32 AM

#

idk probably bbg

#

apple role seems kinda pigeonholed into doing devops infra stuff forever

untold sage Feb 23, 2026, 2:35 AM

#

do not take apple over bbg 😭 no ict3 is crazy and austin blows

wispy jewel Feb 23, 2026, 2:47 AM

#

that's what im saying LOL

#

Google unless team is horrendously bad

#

If it is, then consider Apple

#

153k recurring is not bad

#

but Google will out pay even after accounting for col diff

untold sage Feb 23, 2026, 3:29 AM

#

ny gaps austin though

#

bb u can choose team too

sharp seal Feb 23, 2026, 3:34 AM

#

untold sage ny gaps austin though

I think they’re comparable, Austin isn’t that bad

#

For NG sure nyc is better I’d agree

#

from a cost perspective he will save and have less after taxes at bb vs the others

#

not to mention rent is prob 2x aus/seattle

#

maybe if bb team is good but pay would scale worse as well

#

either way Google mogs everything here

atomic cedar Feb 23, 2026, 3:52 AM

#

sharp seal maybe if bb team is good but pay would scale worse as well

He can always hop

#

making less money but living in nyc >>> making more money and living in austin, typically

#

also the apple team pigeonholes me into devops

#

there's no mobility in apple you'd have to reinterview to do something else

#

bloom u can change teams every 6-12 months

#

i do think google is still prob the best choice though
