Why do LinkedIn salaries look so much fatter than MSFT for equivalent seniority positions on levels.fyi? Recently after LinkedIn layoffs and some internal reorg, I heard some LinkedIn groups are "acquired" by MSFT making them formally MSFT groups now and no longer LinkedIn group. Does that mean that for people hired in those groups under MSFT the salaries are going to be MSFT salaries and not LinkedIn anymore? What happens to people who were already in those groups at LinkedIn and are given maybe new titles at MSFT? How do their salaries change? #swe #acquisitionscience #engineering
This gap will likely be addressed in the next few months, my guess is via layoffs, bonus and refresher cuts. It is unsustainable thst msft will keep a select group of highly paid workers and law ball their direct employees. During the earlier years they could do nothing about it due to the hiring craze but now the time has arrived to take care of this. The cliff has arrived for li workers.
