Thoughts on Google L5 iOS eng offer? Moving from Meta
I’m leaving Meta and looking for better WLB (just had a kid) and company stability. I’m excited for Google, but the L5 offer feels like it’s not much of a step up TC-wise from my current TC at Meta.
I think my quality of life will improve drastically with the move.
Should I negotiate for more? The recruiter apologized and said that the offer was low because they just got flooded with Meta/Twitter/Amazon candidates.
Not sure if it’s relevant, but I was not laid off during the Meta layoffs.

Take the cash in hand and get the wlb that you're looking for. Congrats on the kid. Mine is 6 now and I'm thankful I got the time to really watch this little booger grow up.
