I recently cleared my L3 interviews for Google with ratings of H, SH, H, H. The Recruiter responded with the following compensation package, stating that the Compensation Team advised this is the maximum they can offer. I also have a competing offer from DE Shaw with a total compensation (TC) of over ₹48 LPA (₹34 L base, ₹14 L bonus).
Here’s what was offered to me:
Base: ₹23.5 L
Stocks: 40,500 USD for 4 years
Joining Bonus: ₹3 L
Retirals: ₹1.9 L
Performance Bonus: ₹3.5 L
This totals to a TC of ₹44.6 LPA, calculated as ₹23.5 L (base) + ₹3 L (joining bonus) + ₹3.5 L (performance bonus) + ₹1.9 L (retirals) + ₹12.7 L (stocks for 1 year).
However, I’ve seen posts on LeetCode suggesting that TC could reach ₹48-50 LPA. I urgently need better compensation for personal reasons, but the recruiter said they can't do much to improve the offer. Is there a way to request a special approval or make a case for better compensation?
Could someone advise on how to effectively push for a higher compensation? Is there any way to request special approval or escalate this to get a more competitive offer? Any strategies or insights on how to negotiate this would be greatly appreciated.
