I’m adding up my second’s year compensation at Microsoft, accounting for ALL income-related perks, and turns out is not too bad. At Amazon, I had 299k TC, which is bonus + stock + salary. At Microsoft, I see 296k including EVERYTHING, which is: - Base salary - Sign on bonus for Year 2 - Stock from sign on - Additional stock granted last year - Perks+ (yes, those $1,500 also count) - 401k match (11,250 which AMZN did not give me because I left at 3 years) - ESPP instant gain of $2,778 (which comes from getting $25k msft shares with 10% discount) - 10% base salary bonus next month I think it’s not too bad, considering a better culture and wlb. I also still get free bananas from Amazon since they are not employee-only and I work/live near an Amazon Bellevue office. I’m L62 at Microsoft, SWE-II @Microsoft @Amazon
And childcare credits of 20 percent
What is this 20 percent child credits? You mean the 200 backup care hours? Or the pretax money you put into your FSA account for child care?
I don’t have kids yet, but it’s good to know this
So you desperately inflating value of benefits to cope with the fact that you left Amazon for less TC? 🥹 poor you
Who hurt you?
Just saying things like they are. This is a copium thread.
Yoe OP ? Asking because I'm thinking of switching to msft.

Big mistake
Yoe?
My L62 friends at MS are around 210 TC, curious what yours is OP
what about refreshers at MS?
Refreshers suck at MS. I think it is around 24k over 5 yrs at L62
They suck and are included in my post above.
The fact that you don't work at Amazon in itself is priceless (former Amazonian here).
My spouse is at MSFT. I am at AMZN. I use their benefits all the time. They never need to work weekends. Their manager treats them with more respect and compassion. They get 4+ weeks DTO. I am asked if it is possible to cancel my ooto planned 6 months in advance because a new high pressure project came up. (Surprise surprise) 🔥questioning my life choices right about now. 🍌
We get unlimited dto
mudkips, try taking 365 days DTO and tell me how that goes.
Wow my L65 PM tc is 275K

Amazon doesn't have yearly bonus, did you mean your 1st and 2nd year sign on?
Yes, my general TC package in AMZN for 4 years, which averaged 300k, with the first two years heavy on sign on bonus, and the next two heavy on stocks
Ya, just saying they don't have yearly bonus structure
