What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Senior Software Engineer, 21 YOE, currently on $160k no extras. Signing: $160k base $40k signing $150k stock (4 year vest, 1 year cliff) Annual: Up to 30% bonus Up to $34k stock bonus (5 year vest) No other offers currently. It's an interesting project, so I'm tempted to just accept now and have it all done with rather than waiting for other offers.
Standard senior offer for Microsoft. I would recommend you take it if you have no counter offers
Level 63?
Yeah
Yeah that's pretty good. Same base as me at 63 right now.
I thought this was new grad. Try and negotiate
Lol. Everyone doesn't pay as much as G and FB
Then maybe work on your reading skills?
Is this India or China offer?
No.
You could probably get 350k tc at FB, Goog or even Amazon. That said, take this offer and stay a year while you leetcode and then start applying to FAANGs
If I'm asking about an MS offer, it isn't really relevant what I could get at other companies. And why would I leave after a year if I'm specifically going there because it's an interesting project?
Because interesting projects you should do at home. You go to work to feed your family. So you go for TC primarily. This is what most think at least. IMHO
You can get 50 for signing and maybe 200 for the equity but may need a competing off to do so. Their offers for 63 are in a tight range and yours is in range. Fyi don't count on getting the target bonus.
They said the target bonus was 15%. Does that not happen much?
15% is hitting goals and normal, it’s pretty easy to get. Decent performers get more.
With 21 YOE you should be getting principal offers not senior. Senior is for 5-10 yoe
There is a reason op’s current tc is 160k.
Not necessarily 🤷♂️
Msft gives L59 new grad same offer except 110k base. So basically your 21 yoe just worth 50k more to the company. You are not a TC chaser, then why ask other’s opinion?
Yoe really means nothing
That’s a decent offer! Congratulations!
Thanks!
Looks good to me.
