Hi, I've got a SDE II level 61 offer from Microsoft. I will start in Vancouver before they finish with my visa paperwork for US. The proposed compensation for Canada is: Base: 100.000 CAD Stocks: 35k over 4 years Bonus: 10% The Canada recruiter told me once I move to US the salary will be raised to the equivalent of the role /level for Redmond. He never mentioned by how much exactly. I've read here in other post somewhere between 20-30% before currency conversion. Is that number accurate from your experience? Secondly I was hoping for a bit better base for Vancouver, somewhere like 110k. What's a range for level 61 in Vancouver? Is this achievable? Also the stocks seem a bit on the low side. What are you guys thoughts on this?
6+ relevant years in the industry and specific to the job I applied for
U shud ask for more?..for stocks is it 35k per year?
Over 4 years
35k over 4 years
Ask for more. Amazon’s sde 1’s make 99k and sde 2’s make about 115k
Anyone from Microsoft Vancouver have some insight on this?

Hey thanks. Already did. I have a pretty good idea of what I want when I will be relocated to Redmond. It's a bit thin on the info on Vancouver though
Don't trust the recruiter saying your salary will be changed to US standards after you move. Of course, base will be changed but stocks won't change. So push for as much stock as possible.
I will try to push as soon as I have the written offer sent to me as this was communicated over the phone. What would you say a good number would be for stocks this case as lvl 61 sde 2
Why are you moving to Vancouver? If they are willing to offer a job in USA I would take that
Yoe?
