Reactions included a user who noted, “I’ve seen people with similar experience earning more than that. It’s not that crazy if you look closely.” Another remarked, “Tier 3 college with no CS background? Now that’s impressive. Not sure if the offer is, though.”
A third user joked, “Well, if Google’s offering this much, I guess I need to polish my CV.” However, some felt that despite the experience, the offer wasn’t particularly outstanding. One commenter stated, “Seems fair but not mind-blowing,” while another added, “Considering it’s Google, I expected a bit more in terms of perks.”
One comment encapsulated the sentiments of many, saying, “Great for him, but for those of us in the industry, this is just another day at work.”
