What determines if you get placed as a 60,61,62, etc? Is this pre determined by the role the recruiter is trying to fill or does it depend on your performance in the interview? Im targeting 63/2 how realistic is that with 4 yoe TC: 108k 4 YOE
It’s typically the role. 63 is unlikely for 4 yoe.
You will get 61 max.
Very good to know, thanks. Levels.fyi only takes you so far in terms of understanding this kind of stuff
Never negotiate on level. Negotiate on TC. It's a relative performance system.
I got 60 on 3 yoe, didn’t know about levels before joining
It depends on the company you’re coming from and the level you were there. It is likely they’ll give you 61 at msft but I wouldn’t bet you’ll get much higher given your current company and yoe.
They don't
