1 year prior professional SWE experience at the time of hiring, CS undergrad degree from a state university

Female, mixed ethnicity, American/native English speaker

SWE II, L3, Mountain View

$110k base, ~$45k in stock, 15% target bonus ($172k total assuming stock price stays stable and I make said bonus)

Worth noting that I tried not to give my then-current pay to the recruiter during the hiring process and was (very politely) told that they'd cancel my application if I didn't give them a number. Also tried to negotiate this offer up (asked for $120k base) and again, got told to take it or leave it.

What's your vesting schedule for that stock? If that's a 4 year grant, it seems low.

From his calculations of what he will get this year, it seems like $45k is what he would be getting this year from stocks.

*she, but otherwise this is correct. :) ~$180k total over four years, $45k is just what I would expect to get in a year.

if you don't mind, what was your path from undergrad to your current position? what project(s) did you do in your undergrad? i'm currently in the middle of undergrad and still wondering what is the best to do. thanks.
