Evaluate offer for L4 in Seattle? Base 130k Equity 185k over 4 years 15% target bonus 25k signing TC (not including signing):~196k Current 3.5 YOE TC~148k Def an upgrade but still way lower than other L4 offers I've seen, which may be warranted given relatively low YOE. I don't have a real competing offer. Team match is already under way and I don't have much time or energy to interview anymore to get competing offers. Thoughts?
That Tc in seattle is about 330k in MTV. For 3.5 yoe, you must did well for L4
That's like 1.65x. should be more like 1.3x
How is ur current TC only 148K with 3 YOE? What ur current base and stock?
About 130 base, assuming 10% target bonus because that's what I got this year, and about $5000 worth of stock will vest next year.
Seattle comp is lower than mountainview. Don’t compare your base with MTV one
But that base is even lower than most of the SDE2 in Microsoft.
Yes. G Seattle base is 90% of MTV one. But G L4 has much better refresh than MSFT SDE2’s. 70k vest in 4 years vs 6.5k(61), 11k(62) vest in 5 years. It’s reasonable that G Seattle give much less base. G L4 makes similar to MSFT L64..
How long did your team match took?
Without other offers, your stuck. If you prepared to walk away you could negotiate more RSUs, but sound like you are not.
Lol. How is your msft TC so low. The stock literally tripled in the last 3 years. But on the other hand it's a starting l4 salary. It's not too low. But not too high eithrr
The base offer. Nothing you can do without competing offers. Blind / levels.fyi are skewed towards people with competing offers.
Yes, very little luck without competing offers. If you have cleared L4 google, you should be able to clear other FAANG companies easily. It’s worth giving it a shot.
But L4 for your Yoe is impressive. Congrats:)
Wow, another Microsoft offer
