I know a UK google employee who is a new college grad and gets 5 weeks of vacation per year on top of 8 bank holidays. And their salary is higher than most US Google new grads.

They are working at a US company, but at least they are still paying UK taxes and contributing to the UK economy.

I'd love to hear what sort of job a UK new grad would get at Google that would pay them more than their US equivalent. Every data point I've ever seen has shown Google UK employees are paid a lot less.

I think typically UK google employees make less than SV but also significantly more than most software jobs in the UK. The guy I know is really good and did research in undergrad related to a niche Google is interested in.

Do you mind saying what their compensation package is?

Very similar to a standard SV Google one except much more stock.
