Does Microsoft match US salary 1:1 for Principal Software Engineers in India?

Assuming one relocates to India from the US , does Microsoft match US salary?

Amazon good_bad Sep 27, 2018

Lol no

Microsoft maverickk Sep 27, 2018

πŸ˜‚ no. What a lame question..

Shame on me for believing that myth :)

Amazon Ack Sep 27, 2018

Lol, why do you think they even have an office in India? It's so that they can get almost the same quality of work for less than a fourth of the price.

Microsoft preena Sep 27, 2018

More like 1/2 the quality at 1/4th the price. Still a win for the company

Microsoft return(0) Sep 27, 2018

1/4 the the price but what is the actual cost of shitty product? I bet it is more.

That username though... Don't let your visa status determine who you are :)

Yeah I'm not anywhere near principal but I'm in the same boat too... New grad joined last week, same boat too... So yeah you got generations looking at you and following :)

Is this even a question after the fact that INR keeps sliding?

Amazon (TC)||GTFO Sep 27, 2018

It used to be >= L66, they pay the same when you relocate from US to other offices. Not sure if that's still the case.

F5 Networks 1u2ir8v3f7 Sep 27, 2018

Sure, would you like your bonus and RSUs also to match?

Amazon Gjdyveycc4 Sep 27, 2018

They will put a Rs instead of $ and match it πŸ˜‚

For a serious answer to your question, it depends which relo package you get. The local package takes your salary compa ratio and converts it. The expat package let's you stay on US payroll like you are on a really long business trip. Unless there is an exceptional need you won't get the expat package
