Title: Hi HN, posting anonymously.<p>I've just been offered a job at Google in Mountain View as a software engineer. I'm 35 and I have about 11 years of experience.<p>I'm from England and have a no-name degree. I would be sponsored for a visa.<p>So I have a couple of questions:<p>- Is $110k a good base salary for the Bay area?<p>- How does 200 GSUs stack up?<p>- Would you take the job? If so, why? If not, why not?<p>I work in the Thames valley currently and don't know how my standard of living will change.<p>I am a C++ programmer who hasn't previously worked for a "name" company and my degree is from a no name poly in the UK.<p>I must admit I'm tempted to go work on a scale I've never seen before. But Google seems a little more like a large company than a startup these days.<p>Note: of course some of the details have changed to obfuscate the source.
