Microsoft l64/65 compensation

What is a reasonable offer for L64 or L65 at microsoft? Have 13 years experience. Is L65 too much to ask? Asking for Bellevue location.

Levels.fyi - it's a website. Go there and download the excel results.

Compensation? Okay. The excel sheet doesn't do any justice. I am aware of the website and it's "excel sheet" of salaries. Usually these numbers are quite old. So asking for current data. There are 396 salaries listed for over 20 companies. That is too small a sample size. There is only one l65 salary listed for Microsoft for Ny location.

If compensation doesn't help, use it to correlate your 13y with levels inside the company. And update the survey there afterwards to fix the current data problem. Best of luck in your negotiation.

Go for L66, and settle for L65. I know lots of folks in msft who made principal recently and they are in no way of principal caliber. Ask for high and see what they offer.

What is the range?

L6 is 66?

Amazon godman! OP Mar 15, 2018

I am not. Recruiter over sold the position to me and I wasn't aware of these levels
