Looking to ask 370-380k for a Principal Lead (L65) position at Microsoft, feasibility?
I have 5 years managing people, 3 of them in Amazon. The position is mostly a horizontal move from Amazon to MS so I would like to at least increase TC. Currently 320k Any advice? What is the top band for 65, I would like to be prepared to lower expectations it's necessary . Thanks.

Why not ask for 670k? The industry is begging for more out-sourcing this way, but go ahead, do your thing, because no one is going to look after individuals after one decade of their career.
Plausible with a big onhire award, but you'd need enough current unvested stock or a competing offer to get it. Also beware that the annual stock awards won't add up to nearly as much as that onhire award so your comp will be racing towards a serious cliff if you intend to stay long term.
Why would anyone stay at Microsoft if after 4 years of annual stock awards comp will never catch up?
They don’t. That’s your answer. Refreshers are the lowest among top tier.
