L64 at msft is not 300+

Microsoft Ms67897 Sep 28, 2018

Well it is for some. I am L64. Been at L64 for about 5 months now and have 300k TC.

For me it is, and I am not including the bonus

They are probably counting the stock they were just awarded, not what they actually received.

Microsoft Ms67897 Sep 28, 2018

I am counting the stocks that I receive in one year(count of stocks that vest). Not counting the total award that was received.

Same here

300k is totally possible at l64 even without special SSAs etc. I've seen a couple of 64 offers that were around 325 over 4 years. Top for continuing employee is currently about 305ish.

I know a l5 who gets 600k+(without including recent stock appreciation or additional gsus) because he had a L6 offer from fb. He was offered 190k base + 1.5m in stocks and 15% bonus + 50k sign on. Fb offered him more than Google for e6 role but he ended up joining Google. His wife works at fb. He must be making more than 750k now. He joined Google 1.25 years back. He doesn't have PhD or supernatural ability. He had 6+ years of experience working on systems. He had a solid interview feedback.
