Base 120k Sign on bonus 15k Sign on stocks - 25k 4 year vesting. 1st year 25% and 6.25% every 3 months afterwards Cash Bonus eligibility 0-20% Stocks eligibility 0-90000 Recruiter said can't tell the level but it's not entry level. 3.5 yrs experience in US and Masters in CS.
Is the 3 month vesting thing for all MS offers or just that one?
3 month vesting is standard for all review stocks and other stocks at MS now.
Jr salary. Prob level 60
Looks like level 61 but base is low. Mid point is around 124 so you definitely have room to negotiate base. I’m not sure about sign on bonus but RSU (Sign on stocks) is low.
I just checked. Looks like L60 offer. This is what we recently offered a L60: 120K base. 50K RSU (4 year vest) 25K sign-on(2 year vest). Base is good for L60. Negotiate on RSU for sure. And sign-on as well. Counter with 120, 50, 25 and see what they say. Do it over the phone. If you feel uncomfortable saying yes to what they counter with, say you’ll get back in 2 days. You offer is a very standard baseline L60 offer though. It’s not bad. Just that there’s room depending on how badly the team needs to fill the position.
Is that industry hire or new grad?
Get a competing offer
You know if MSFT will compete with non FANG offers?
Ask $100k stock and stand your ground. You will thank me later. These fuckers need to stop giving peanut RSUs. Likely L60
Sign on and stocks are for first year or in total ?
Total at the time of joining sign on 15k..
All the numbers seem to lineup to L60 or maybe 61. The stock target seems way off though.
I think it should be 0-9000
Counter with 125k base, 30k signon and 50k stock. You are definitely being offered a level 61
Too bad an offer! Let it go.
Very low
Yeah it seems that way to me too..
Did you try to negotiate?
