Asking for a friend not on blind: He has an offer for I5 : base 220k + 750k RSU over 4 years + 40k joining bonus. Current TC around 300k+ at Microsoft. Is this a compelling offer to move?
probably try to land a position at an FAAANGTULL company if he’s that valuable?
Does he write code with his eyes closed ?
Yes take it!
This is way better than a L5 offer at Google or Facebook
You can probably double the signing bonus. Rest looks great!
There's definitely some room in the IC5 band, but do you really think he can push it to 1.5M? Also at 10 yoe / Msft 65 they may be thinking "low IC5". I'd still try to negotiate, especially if there are competing offers.
No. I meant the 40k sign-on bonus. Not the 750k RSUs.
We can't answer that, it's totally subjective. If it's worth it to him I'm sure he'll move
