Sr. Program Manager(L 63) Microsoft Azure
Hi All, I need some help in evaluating my MS offer. Base - 160k per year 1 time sign on - 25k Stock - 75k vested over 4 years(18.75 per year) Performance Bonus - Between 0 and 30% of base. I am not to happy with the stock grant. Any tips for negotiation are welcome.
How many years of work ex?
3 years PM and 3 years S/w engineer with an MBA in between.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Do you have a competing offer?
Not right now. I had a FB onsite that did not work out :( I have an Oracle onsite next week. I believe that their comp is much higher.
In the negotiation world nothing works as good as a competing offer.
Is this a competitive offer for Microsoft and the market in general? I am trying to negotiate the stock.
OP- can you share your interview experience and any tips? I have Azure IoT PM onsite interviews next week .. looking for some guidance Thanks
The target yearly stock refresher for L63 is 24k so they are giving you 3x of that. If you have competing offers or a lot of unvested AMZN that could be used as an argument.
Thank you!! Just to be clear the 75k will be vested over 4 years.
Also, it’s almost never 30%. Fair to assume 15% bonus. Sign on can surely be Negotiated. It’s entirely upto HM.
