Nope, interview elsewhere and get a better offer at a company with better compensation and impact prospects than Microsoft before you move In particular, come to Salesforce. We hire anyone from Microsoft who has a pulse. We'll definitely beat that TC for 8.5 YOE. There's an internal survey on our channel where someone is beating your TC at 4 YOE, lol

I also get two other offers from FANNG but got downleveled, Like AMZN give me L5 with 270TC.

Amazon BlueSocks Sep 23, 2019

L5 is the right level for L63.

ICF Bazingger Sep 23, 2019

With 8.5 years you could have been principal level now... Why the slow progress?

Salesforce OHANA GANG Sep 23, 2019

Most software engineers don't actually reach what most companies would term "principal"

Microsoft 25-973 OP Sep 23, 2019

Because I was good but not the best in out ream, and Principal only awards to the best.

Which location and level (L4?)? This seems to be a solid offer for L4

Microsoft 25-973 OP Sep 23, 2019

Seattle.

Microsoft 25-973 OP Sep 23, 2019

Its a L5 offer, but I didnt get a strong competing offer, so this is the best I have.

I would take the 20K sign on out which puts you at 312 if my math is right. That’s over 40% more than 220. Assuming the jobs are relatively the same from a happiness perspective, it was nice working with you.

Microsoft 25-973 OP Sep 23, 2019

So u think it worth it?

Microsoft 🍤🍤&🌭🌭 Sep 23, 2019

Assuming the jobs are similar, I’d take it.

OCI?

Microsoft 25-973 OP Sep 23, 2019

No OCI give me down level with similar MSFT tc and I didnt accept.

Who cares about tier when your tc is high

LinkedIn Wiener Sep 23, 2019
