Apple, Google, and Amazon will all make similar offers.

My initial offer from Google was $150k base, ~15% holiday bonus, and came with >$100k in stock vesting over four years, and they give another four-year stock grant each year. I have 7 years of industry experience and I interview well.

What year was this offer given to you? Also, was your 7 years of experience before you got the Google offer? Was all of the experience in US?
