  • I am not sure why everyone is saying this is only "good". Its actually a great offer. If you just factor in state taxes, this is equivalent to a ~$290k tc in Bay area. Not even calculating the CoL. With no competing offers, this means you must have done your interviews pretty good!
    Congrats on the great offer, OP!

  • You’re not factoring in refreshers. Also you’re not mentioning a sign on bonus? I think you’re tc would be closer to 285 if you factor in refreshers.

    • @microsoft, it's not very common to get NI. Maybe less than 5%? Almost the same as Superb rating.

    • You kind of have to take into account refreshers. I recently had offers from both Amazon and Google. On the surface, Amazon looked like a lot more money. However, they have zero refreshers or bonuses in the first four years. When you take into account refreshers and bonuses, the compensation was actually slightly better at Google. Not to mention the likelihood of a decent wlb at Google was substantially higher.

    Hi OP! Congrats on the great offer.

    I had a couple of questions for you: How were the interviews in terms of LC difficulty? What kind of Data Structures were they focused on? Also, were you able to solve all the questions asked?

    TIA
