Location: Raleigh
Company: Microsoft
Yoe:15
Base: 160K
RSU:225K for 4 years
JB: 60k
Recruiter said bonus is 0 to 30% and stock refreshers = 0 to 48K
Level: L64

How much is the stock refreshers and bonus historically for last couple of years? Does Microsoft allow internal transfer to different teams ( say from Raleigh to Sunnyvale) in future? If yes do they adjust the pay structure according to bay area standard?

  • You get 50% of the range. Microsoft is socialism.

    So your bonus will be 24k
    Stocks will 20k . For L 64 refresh range is 0-40. Did recruiter tell you 48?
    Internal transfers are smooth. Everytime you move you get a 20k relocation bonus and pay adjustment on the base

    How much joining bonus did you get.
    What's your current TC? Any competing offers

    Omg, there is a big difference between my base and what you suggested. Is there a geographical cost difference between Redmond and Raleigh? I am in HW and not sure that would make a difference

    • There is no explanation other than what other companies are ready to pay you to get you. Every company tries to get you in at the least at which you will agree.

  • You can negotiate a little on base if you have competing offers

      Recruiter said that Raleigh is much cheaper and this is the max they can go for L64. Recruiter said this is the max they can go , either take it or lose it. Any ballpark number for base for L64 in Raleigh?
