Recruiter said they couldn't tell me the level so if anyone had any ideas about that, that would be helpful. Currently making way more stock at Amazon so probably going to negotiate that up Base - 115k Stock - 15k Sign on bonus - 10k YOE: 1.5 years Currently SDE I at Amazon, TC: ~145k
Level 60, sde 1. With that stock, realize you are being lowballed. Take it only if you really want to work at the team at Microsoft. Trust me, you will regret taking this offer in about 4 years and learn how MS screwed you over in comp.
Thanks for the info. Will definitely negotiate up. My stock at Amazon is currently around 100k so I was shocked when she said 15k
They can tell you the level. Recruiter is being dumb. That’s definitely SDE 1, probably L60 maybe 59. If you have competing offer you can easily ask for more. If you’re not itching to leave amazon, you can ask them to match, but make it clear you’ll stay if they don’t match.
Recruiter told me that information was confidential... Do you have any tips on how to get the level out of them? I'm not in a rush to leave Amazon, so I will definitely ask them to at least match my current TC
Why would level be confidential. Ask to talk to the hiring manager if they won’t tell you.
If you choose to join Microsoft below 63, I would suppose you don’t care about money. So forget lowball or not, or clean Microsoft from your memcache.
MS comp is mediocre at best for lower levels, so if you want money, MS is not the place to go.
Janitor level
