Got a verbal offer from Google. Will they withdraw the offer if I try to negotiate?
Got a lowballed L4 verbal offer at Google, India as a System Engineer. The RSUs are super low (32k USD, vested over 4 years). The average in the past has been 60k-90k.
I asked the recruiter if we can bump up the RSUs to 50k and also get me joining bonus.
She did not hesitate and told me she'll have a discussion with the comp team for RSUs of 50k-60k. *(Notice how she said she'll ask for 50k-60k even though I just asked 50k)*
Truth to be told, I'd be ready to join even at the current offer. I do not have any competing offers either.
I'm just worried they'll withdraw the offer thinking 50k-60k are my expectations and they'd obviously have someone else ready to work for much less money.
And yes, it really is an L4 offer - there's no mistake. My base aligns with other L4 offers too.
