I am currently SDE 1 at Amazon India, expecting a promotion in the next 9-12 months. Microsoft is offering me L60 with good compensation but I am not sure if I should join. The reason is L60 is again SDE 1 and would need to repeat the whole process again to get promoted. Is it good to leave this much money on the table? Offered TC: 32 Lacs Current TC: 20 Lacs YOE: 2.5
Sorry, I’m a bit new to all this. What is L60 and what r Lacs?
Take the money
Hey can you tell us the breakup? Thanks
Agreed take the money. If you were expecting promo in next 1-2 quarters, then staying would be a good idea.
Take it.. My TC was 33L when I got promoted to SDE 2 earlier this year
Take the offer. You can get promoted at MS in one year, which is the same time table you are currently facing.
Is getting promoted at Microsoft this easy?
Promos at MS are quicker as levels are more granular. Most teams also have talent cards in addition to your connect which give you an opportunity to showcase your work. I wouldn’t stay it’s easier to get promoted in general I would say that it is easier to reward people that deserve it.
