up/down during the interview process.
The company isn’t starved for money, so they can afford to pay you in that stock.
I asked for the moon. They offered it.
I looked on levels.fyi for L6 (principal) pay.
$160k salary
$410 stock
+$300k sign-on bonus (as I would be losing this invested stock if I left Microsoft)
A while back a friend went to Amazon and told me “I wish I asked for more.”
The key is to be in a position where you can say no (EX: your current role isn’t all that bad)
