google prestige ultimate tech top salary i turned it down here's my google offer pirates about two months have passed since i quit microsoft i know some of you are wondering what my next steps are oh what am i holding it's my google offer wait what what's my total compensation watch until the end to find out but i can tell you right now that i'm not going to google not because google turned me down but because i turned google down why before i explain for those who don't know me i'm pk i create entertaining and educational
content related to software engineering make sure to like and subscribe to find out more about me also i just started instagram so follow me there as well lastly thanks brilliant for sponsoring this video let me first start by sharing what happened at microsoft why did i all of a sudden decide to leave it all started when microsoft announced the rto return to office in early february was i ready for the announcement no combine that with the unexciting work lack of growth poor leadership and horrible on call all of which i shared previously they were terrible
enough and now these guys were asking me to face that atrocity in person that pulled the trigger will i accept my fate and be miserable for the rest of my career or defy the inevitable and set sail into a new adventure i chose the latter i quickly looked into how many time offs i had and oh man guess what combining all the paid timeouts carried over from last year accrued this year plus some sick days i had about 20 days of ptos in my arsenal so the next day i called my manager told him i'm
taking a few days off and started decoding now a month isn't usually enough to jump the ship since most people prepare for at least three months but i didn't want to drag this either i mean lead coding isn't exactly fun right so i'd reluctantly grinded lead code for two weeks and started the coding interviews but i only sent my resume to a select few top tech companies including google because i wasn't interested anywhere else google was actually kind enough to bypass the phone screen and invited me straight to their virtual onsite but their generosity wasn't
enough to win my heart why was their offer bad well take a look and judge yourself [Music] oh if you don't know what equity or rsu means check out this video [Music] not bad huh google offered me over 360 000 total comp on my first year but i turned them down why i had better offers peace hear me out i have to admit google is my dreamy company it still is but one they initially tried to lowball me what the the recruiter even admitted that google's no longer the top paying company anymore they did match
the numbers in the end but only after i provided evidence of my competing offers and hurting my pride two despite the match the numbers in their offer were still the lowest among my competing ones they try to justify the compensation gap with their almighty skyrocketing stock price which plunged 30 from its peak three google's team matching process is notorious for moving at the speed of a snail i mean hey google i don't have all day here combine that with several unexciting teams i got matched with in seattle it was time for me to politely and
respectfully say no with some sarcasm so that's it guys that is it i seriously said no to google my dream company hey google if you're watching this no hard feelings man i'm sure our path will cross at some point so i guess your question is where am i heading which company won me over with an offer that's better than google's before we get there let me introduce this video sponsor brilliant learn the key ideas of computer science with brilliance interactive learning the best way to learn anything is by doing it yourself and that's where brilliant
