Where to go after Google?

Google L4 Program Manager, roughly 30 LPA TC excluding stocks, where could I go next and get a decent hike while maintaining some semblance of WLB, 5 days X 9 hours with some stretch once or twice in a quarter.

Try for startups by ex faang or big in tech startups ...you can easily find a compensation around 35 lpa

Stocks is roughly 5-5.5 lacs/year for next 3 years, rest depends on refreshers.

Seems like PayU will suit you, I work at payU payment, here the average base program managers are getting is between 30-45 LPA.

The lead program manager's base is 42 LPA + 15% bonus.

Having less than 7 years and being a recruiter for the first 4 years and having a base of 30 + 30 Esops i am guessing. Bro/madam nobody is going to pay you 60 for a role that’s easily replaceable. Rest and vest at Google. In other places like startups Program Managers are laughed at and are only required to arrange for team outings and stuffs like that.

Any place where you can get a good TC bump. 30 lpa for L4 is below average tbh.

Where to switch?

5 yoe(1.5 at G). Currently L4 at google roughly 80LPA.

Boring ass work, no technical complexity. L4 to L6 sde's seem to just kiss ass of each other.

Promo will be purely beuracratic and that too of no benefit heard internal promoted L5...
