Apr 10, 2019

I am evaluating several offers and expecting an offer for a Principal SRE Lead for Microsoft in Reston VA doing work in the cleared space. I am currently at AWS with a 275k TC. Problem is I am on a team that I don't want to be on anymore for a couple of reasons (don't like the manager, don't like the technology). Not including a clearance bonus, is 300k TC a reasonable ask for this role at Microsoft?

I am Amazon L6 applying for cleared space SRE as well... having a hard time setting expectations because I think a L6 SysDE at Amazon has a much higher coding bar than SRE at MSFT... making me wonder if I should be pushing for 65 rather than 63/64...
