Microsoft negotiations

Hi guys, I got L62 offer from them. University recruiter is unnecessarily taking time to update offer based on competing offers from Google/FB. Does delay of 3 days mean they are having trouble increasing it. I told them approximate offer numbers. Anyone having experience with Microsoft university recruiting for PhD candidates, please suggest.

I highly doubt we're giving you anything that competes with TC from G or FB

Does delaying mean something ? He told me I will get back to you with a strong offer in early next week.

Par for the course for recruiters. Not necessarily a Microsoft thing. They are the worst

How do you get L62 immediately after PhD? What kind of role is this?

Likely the only way they can get close to matching FANG TC, and OP will be hopelessly over-levelled and find it impossible to get promoted.

Even without competing with FG, new grad PhD hired by MSR can be L62/L63.

L62 offers are usually on par with L4 google offers

They are absolutely not... I recently got an offer from MS and they couldnt even get close to matching G, or even Amazon.

What's the current offer from FB, G and Microsoft ?

TC or GTFO
