Microsoft eLue44 Feb 22, 2020

How is pay at grab? What would be base , bonus, rsu for a senior at grab?

Grab pddus Feb 22, 2020

Depends alot on what you specialize in and where you worked before. It's better than Microsoft for sure. Similar to Amazon.

Is the signon for first year or it’s split over 2 years?

Facebook Hodinkee Feb 22, 2020

I’d bet it’s a split.

Oracle jnhugvifd Feb 22, 2020

It’s good for L65.

Lol. so shameless.

Bunch of LC up to 200 for some reason MS folks love backtracking kind of problem.

Is the bonus upto 40% of 215, I.e another 85k on top of the base?

Microsoft pSiS31 Feb 22, 2020

Yes. Up to 85k cash plus 72k stock each year. Stock doubles above 65

Nutanix nr1 Feb 22, 2020

That’s fantastic! RSUs could be a little higher ( right now it looks like 100k per year) but looks like they are making up for it with sign on. Total comp for first 2 yrs seem to be closer to 500k assuming 40% bonus. The 72k stock refresh will have a 4 year vesting ?

Target bonus is 20%, getting 40% is extremely difficult. Overall offer looks good for Redmond area.
