Microsoft lowballing
Interviewed with Microsoft Hyd a while back and got a verbal offer. They wouldn't extend the offer and let me know the MS level either until I shared my current payslip even though I didn't want to do that. My ask to them was to extend the offer based on the level they decided as part of debrief. But they were adamant and I had to share all my current salary details with them. Finally Got an offer however the level was lower than my current one! And the reason given was that they can't give a hike beyond a certain point based on current salary! For reasons of confidentially can't give more details. Is this how levelling is done at MSFT? This is serious lowballing. Edit: Finally got the right level. They arranged for further interviews and up-leveled me after that.
Should have never shared current salary details
Depending on what state you’re in, that’s illegal. In many states, employers can’t ask for salary history
It appears as if this is in India and it isn’t illegal there :(
What is your current TC
Msft isj higher bar than amzn.. you should be grateful to get hired
Lol
😂😂😂😂 that’s some serious cool aid your drinking friend It ain’t the 90s no more
So just turn it down because they are downgrading you.
No bar for right candidate. Just signed L64 offer for a 7 yoe person. Recruiter may have asked the current compensation and adjusted the offer. From my side it was always L64 and with comp ratio not less then 0.9
I would have straight up declined the moment they asked a payslip It’s not like a competing offer or something. Put the pressure on the recruiter, and if he said no - reply to him and cc hiring manager. That said I doubt they changed the leveling.
Funny thing is recruiter sends email without cc'ing hiring manager or anyone else! So don't know mailid
Wtf paystub? I would just say that they should give me an offer purely based on my interview performance and my skill set, not based on my past salary figures.
Ok. For confidentiality reasons, I can't give more details.
