I have an offer from Microsoft for PM2 position. I am not sure what to expect. What level will be ideal and what is the salary range for the position. I have 3 and a half years of Technical Program Manager experience
Also what level is the position?
Not sure yet. Will be talking tomorrow. Just wanted to learn about various level and compensation
At 3.5 you should expect 61 if you are getting pm2.
Expect a lowball because MSFT isn’t competitive lower than L63...
I would say not competitive under 65.
Whats L65 TC like?
Taking a wild guess for 3 yrs of experience. Range would be 160k-185k
Thanks. Seems reasonable
L61 your base will probably be like 127-130, 10% bonus, and anywhere from 20-40/year stock. Expect the TC range to be 160-180
What group?
Hello peeps. I was down levelled and my initial offer was as follows Base: 114500 Stock: 10000 Joining bonus: 5k I expressed my discomfort and asked for time to consider. My offer was revised without me negotiating to Base:123000 Joining: 15000 Stock:25000 My level is L60. I am not happy with downlevelling and this whole experience is now making me uncomfortable. Is this a good deal?
Base is good for 60 Joining isn't great, could probably get 25 Stock is terrible, probably should be like 3x but they tend to lowball industry hires Being downleveled isn't the worst thing, gives a chance to overachieve and get a quick promotion, better than being over leveled and ending up on IR
Dude what’s your current tc and what’s the offer that you got ?
I will be talking about compensation tomorrow. I have heard Microsoft down plays a bit and just wanted to be prepared.
