Google L4 in Bangalore landed around 72 LPA total. Base was less than half of that

Breakdown that helped me sanity-check: base in the 40s, the rest was RSUs (4-year vest) plus a joining bonus. Public data (levels.fyi) had L4 India in the low-70s median and that matched. If a recruiter quotes you only base, ask for the full TC breakdown before you react.

The base-vs-RSU gap trips up so many first offers. Always ask for TC, not base.

And ask what stock price they used to compute the RSU value. It matters.
