Hi, I managed to get an offer from both Google and Microsoft India. The roles offered in both are similar although I would prefer the role at Google tbh. Following is the compensation offered: Google (L4): Base - 35L Performance bonus (15%) - 5.25 Joining bonus - 5L RSUs - $105,000 (4 years) - (38%, 32%, 20%, 10%) TC first year - 78.36L Microsoft (L62) - Base - 41L Performance bonus (20%) - 8.2L Joining bonus - 5L first year + 3.2L second year RSUs - $80,000 (4 years) - (25% across 4 years) TC first year - 70.8L It would be very helpful if the community can offer insights and suggestions that might help me choose the offer. Below is a non-exhaustive list of parameters that I am considering and need more information about: * Annual hikes and stock refreshers - the average percentage and your experiences * Ease in moving to US given the current environment * Other perks I look forward to your responses. #google #microsoft #salary #india #sde
If you want to be able to move to US then choose MS anytime. Google isn't doing transfers anymore
Oh really I thought MS wasn't any better
Even MSFT is not doing transfers
TBF If your ultimate aim is to move to US Amazon is your best bet, because in Google only your base changes for international transfer but Amazon will also give you stocks to make sure your overall TC within range I suggest joining Google, if international transfer does not happen, switch to Amazon
Most L63 and 64 at MS will be pissed to see your numbers. Great offer! Advice would be goto Google. No one joins MS from Google but given a chance all MS people under L66 will join Google.
Oh whys that?
Congrats for the offer. Your YOE ?
Hey thanks.. its around 4.5
I have 9 years of experience (L62) and my ctc is still lower than this.
Started at TCS ?
Can you share your feedbacks for google for each round and did you counter them with MS offer?
I had 1 weak accept and 2 strong accepts. I did. But the recruiter mentioned that google would only match and would not exceed MS offer numbers
Damn even with 2 Strong accepts they are going for 35 base, earlier they used to go for 40 easily What I heard was internal transfers have reduced a lot in google recently given they are moving many roles to india, they are even building teams from scratch in India so it might tough to get internal transfer for sometime
Amazing offer. Congrats ! Go for Google but for internal transfer to USA, Amazon is the one , 3 of whom i know went to USA after 2-3 years in india. By the way , can u please tell us the role u r interviewed for ?? i mean Frontend , backend , AI etc
Thank you! :) I interviewed in AI
I know a friend getting $80k stocks for L60 last year. Definitely you can get more.

Total exp. Bonus max only 12 to 14% at ms. Subtract 3 lakhs
Total exp is 4.5 years. How about the hike %?
