What is the average annual stock bonus at Microsoft for Level 61?
6K
Damn that's nothing. Is there any vesting period?
5yrs
I think stock is on a 3 or 4 year vesting schedule, so that measly bonus just trickles in over time.
5 year. But they are reliably granted yearly unless you really screwed up, so by year 5 you are vesting 5x(1/5) per year.
It is a whopping $6500 vested over 5 years.
Lol. I thought it was immediate vesting
Cash bonus is immediate, stock is vested
For L61, the compensation model is almost exclusively cash based (salary and cash bonuses). The stock component is negligible. Microsoft changed the comp packages a few years ago to be almost purely cash for lower levels.
Motivation for LCing then GTFOing if you didn’t see the writing on the wall as a 59 or 60 😭
Low
