Microsoft levels

I got an offer for a job at MSFT level 67. It’s a business role. Does anyone know what the level means? Is this like senior role or what is it equivalent to in standard titles (the role has a weird title so I can’t tell)? Like is this equivalent to a Sr Director role or what?

It's pretty big level. It maps to L8 level at Amazon

Amazon aWxQ38 OP Mar 2, 2018

Thanks. Any clue on what Principal vs Partner means there? :)

Amazon mattdirty Mar 2, 2018

Partner is big deal. That's level 68. Lot of partners from there came as VP here. What is your level at Amazon?

Not true. I know many 67 who make close to L8 salsry

Amazon mattdirty Mar 2, 2018

Sorry L67 makes more than l8 also in many cases

Darn 67 is huge ! Microsoft doesn’t hire many over 66 from outside - well done !

Amazon aWxQ38 OP Mar 2, 2018

I’m about to make L8

Did you take the Microsoft offer or stuck with Amazon curious. Looking to move to Microsoft and could use a solid referral

Haven’t heard of many L8s so wanted to know how comp looks like. Congrats on the big one :)

If you are going as L67, you are top 1000 people in the company. In your next promotion you will be partner which will put you on 1mil+ pay grade. Best of luck.

Congratulations... 67 is great... Just a level or two below CVP

Amazon aWxQ38 OP Mar 2, 2018

It reports to a GM. Is this normal? Are CVPs Satya’s directs?

Microsoft holaaa Mar 2, 2018

Yes this is normal... 67 is also considered GM... CVP reports to EVP.. EVP are Satya directs
