> though they do pay good money.

When my wife was looking for a VP level position at a tech company last year, Google's interview process was by far the most cumbersome and their offer was the lowest she got by a sizeable amount. When she mentioned this to them, they said she could begin the process all over again to see if she could maybe get more. She thanked them for their time and then accepted one of the reasonable offers she got.

I cannot actually believe this. Can you share actual numbers?

Google pays well above most Fortune 50 companies at the VP level. Definitely over a few million per year.

I can think of a handful of companies that pay more, unless I’m totally mistaken.

It sounds like somebody being a VP at a 50-person company, submitting a resume, and getting an interview for a L6 eng manager position.
