Principal SDE at Microsoft

Got an offer at Microsoft, 168k base 160k stock and 60k sign on. Is this a decent offer for level 65?

This seems shockingly low for principal SDE...

This is low. Here’s something more appropriate - base 175k, 250k stock. Sign on seems ok but you could go for 80k.

250k per year or over 4 years?

You work at Oracle. Nothing to be proud of.

They’re lowballing you hard, some new grads get 120 stocks and 50 sign on

Stocks and sign on is less for L65 plus i always see in blind MSFT comp is low in general. YOE?

I mean it's good for Microsoft but other companies pay much more for sde 2 😂😂

My L64 SDE offer was much better last year - 170k base 250k stock 60k cash. They are seriously lowballing you, there will be L63s with a higher TC than you

I would suggest asking for 180k base, 280k stocks and 60 joining.

Well Principal at MSFT is kinda equivalent to L5 at Google. This is still in the ballpark of Principal, if you need a good offer I would have gone for 190 base, 360k stocks and 70k joining.
