But exceptional people at Microsoft get out-of-band stock grants called SSAs (special stock awards). I got three (total of $150k in 18 months) as level 61
But again, even getting one is exceptional so donโt count on them)
1 - General SSA because too many people were leaving. Last year a lot of people in different parts of msft got it, managers got informed on the spot,without being involved.
2 - good engineer in a project that leadership is pouring a lot of cash on.
3 - horrible oncall and half of the team left in a month, the remaining ones got an SSA.
