Microsoft India Offer Evaluation

Feb 11 24 Comments

Received offer with below:
Base: 39 LPA
Stocks: 70K USD on-hire stock award
Joining Bonus: 2 Lakhs (to be returned if leaving before 1 year)
Annual Bonus 20%

I am waiting for performance review and increment here at Flipkart, which I can know earliest by March mid/end. No scope of promotion here this cycle.
Not able to figure out if this is L61 or L62 from offer letter.

What do you think of the offer?

Current Pay: 31.4 base
YOE: 4.5 years

      Is the clawback 100% if we leave before the 4th year or is it 25% for each year?

    • Vesting schedule differs too, some have front loaded schedule like Google, some back loaded like Amazon but generally 25% vesting after first year and then remaining amount vests every month/quarter

      It’s s pretty good offer when you consider your current TC and the fact that you don’t have any competing offer. If you can manage a Amazon SDE2 offer, MS will immediately push the stocks to 100-130k and add a 7-10L joining bonus.

      For people with 70-80L TC at Amazon/Uber/Atlassian as SDE2, it might look lowball. So evaluate it as per your current scenario.

    L62 offer it seems. 61 base doesn’t go so high.
    All in all im impressed good offer from msft. Google L4 would also look similar just 100-150k stocks basically.

    Base of 39L is high even for L62, haven’t seen such high base before. Ask for 100-120k on hire stocks. That will make the offer comparable to Google/Uber L4. Congrats and good luck!
