Hardware Engineer : Redmond Base : 110k Signing : 30k Stocks : 120k / 3.5years Annual Bonus : 0-20% Fresher with Masters degree with 1 year internship in Intel. Full time offer from Intel too. But the role in Microsoft is what I wanted in Intel but did not get. Should I negotiate or accept the offer given the COVID-19 situation? #career #interview #hardware
Standard negotiated L59 new hire offer. Not much room for negotiation. You could potentially raise the signing bonus though
No chance for a base pay raise? Or should I ask for a L60? Also, how to ask for a signing bonus raise? Sorry a newb. Please help.
I’ve personally never heard of a new grad successfully negotiating base pay at MSFT, even for exceptional candidates. You should be able to bump up the signing bonus to $50K with a strong competing offer. You can try to ask for L60 and I’ve heard of hiring managers approving it because they wanted to offer the candidate a higher comp package but it’s uncommon
What will you be doing?

Cool. Congrats on the offer. I'm a Validation Engineer too & I'm interested in knowing more about the type of interview that you went through. Is it alright if I message you?
Congratulations on the offer. You could ask for 20k more in base and settle for 15K. DM me if you want to discuss approach / strategy.
Solid offer, especially the stocks! I have never heard of hardware NCGs getting paid >100k in stocks.
At today's market just take it, hiring freeze is coming soon.
I wouldn't listen to this. Microsoft is doing great during this time. Everyone is buying our products so that they can stay productive while working from home.
How many down turn have you been through?
Great offer. Stocks look interesting. All the best!
You're killing it
Good offer. Take it
Very good stocks
