got info from my friend joined fro FB lvl5. TC is close to 400k... holy cow edit: lvl 64 adding @Cheri data point, welcome to apply microsoft! Also as a comparison, my tc last year was 344k. Base pay earned in 2019: 188k Cash bonus (140% rewards): 39k Stock bonus vest: 40k SSA 1 vest: 45k SSA 2 vest: 32k Appreciation played a big part in all stock vest values. Also I've got 8 yoe total, all at Msft. I've got 180% rewards twice and 140% rewards all other times except year 1 (partial year) when I got 100% rewards.
I call BS. Firstly, your TC or GTFO. Secondly, your friend’s TC
I’m not writing it to let you believe or not. Just enjoy frugality at amazon
Hahaha, @Stonks jealous af. 😂
What level ?
L64 at 400k is impossible and coming from FB E5 is a lie. FB E5 makes 400k, why bother joining msft unless your friend was PIPed out
Ah? I’m not sure how much he made in FB. He told he wanted to leave after the suicide
He could be PIPed but i don’t really know or care
I know an L64 PM who joined us at $350K TC. From a FAANG
Impossible even for 65. Close ms hr confirmed this.
Then you hr friend is lying. The salary can go high with biz justification
Real talk. So if you know a vp you get a market offer, got it lol
No, it's not, as you just explained
See below comments
Lol
Even if the TC is true, FB E5 will still be a better option if you account for E5 vs L64 refreshers.
Well. If ms pay me 400k, i definitely go ms even fb has refresher.
Tbh, msft has a better position than FB in the long run. And msft should have enough project for career growth ( like JEDI)
Finally they realised that they make so much money and can afford paying engineers the salary they deserve???
Your friend is lying to you.
Unfortunately no, we are very close friends and he showed me details
What!? Joined as level 65?
