180k RSU for L4? Seriously? Also proof that idiots on blind vote for google on any poll no matter what.

is that bad

Jump Trading AverageAF May 19, 2022

Thatā€™s pretty low.

Microsoft PGSC40 May 19, 2022

You are not going to get 18k annual bonus at Msft. Whatā€™s your bonus range ? Count 50% of that range

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

120% is easily the baseline, no?

Microsoft Bowlshit May 19, 2022

Target Bonus is 10% of your base. 18k is the refresher average

Microsoft ab14cd May 19, 2022

Can you share your Google interview experience Also I am surprised msft is offering so much for l61

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

Pretty tedious. 4 coding rounds. 1 Googley round. Then HC. And team matching. Whole process took over 3 months

Microsoft ab14cd May 19, 2022

What is the level of questions?

Citrix Systems AllGasNošŸšØ May 19, 2022

Wow that Msft offer is _INSANE_

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

No, one of the Android product teams

Congrats! Nice work

Did you negotiate with Google? This L4 offer looks very low

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

Yeah...

Microsoft ab14cd May 19, 2022

How did you negotiate with msft

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

I didn't. Their initial offer was their max offer.

Microsoft ab14cd May 19, 2022

Which team was it?

Google SVXG64 May 19, 2022

Great offer for Microsoft and terrible offer for Google. My L4 Seattle offer was $169k base $349k stock.

Microsoft Lmnju OP May 19, 2022

Google won't bulge on numbers. How many YOE did you had when you got the offer? Not sure why the comp team aren't willing to go higher in my case.

Meta . May 19, 2022

Probably because <2 YOE from non FAANG and also no high competing offers. Used to be Meta that would bring up offers but canā€™t do that anymore I guess

Salesforce t2rKmK May 19, 2022

I don't even believe that Microsoft offer.. Are you sure this wasn't for L62? Even then, it seems really good. How was your interview performance?
