And not all Googlers make this little. I have the same position, in the bay area, and my pay structure is roughly:
$180k/year
15% bonus ~ $30k/year
600 RSUs in the first year = $440,000
400 RSUs in the second year = $280,000
200 RSUs in 3rd and 4th year (assuming no refreshers, and oh boy there will be refreshers!)

It helps that my prior job had a comp level around $480k/year and also I got hired when GOOG was $550/share.
BTW, the T-5 salary band ends at $180k. So you're pretty close. Its the RSUs that make all the difference.
- eitally 11y agoBut you received an abnormally huge initial RSU grant. It's uncommon for anyone to get more than 500-600 (outside of leadership) unless you're a strategic hire and they're compensating you for unvested stock at your current employer.
- throwawa998833 11y agoIndeed it's high, but also it just shows you what is possible. I don't think I was a highly strategic hire, just a very solid engineer with a lot of experience, prior employment at Google (and Amazon), and a strong salary and stock compensation at my immediately prior job. So they busted out the competitive offer, and I was very happy. Also the stock went up like $200 a share.
