No bonus was a separate item according to her. Bonus is cash. Stock refresh also given annually and vesting over some amount of years (scribbled notes not next to me rn)

Must be very high in your location?

Always negotiate. There's no way they'll give you the best offer right off the bat

Looks average. Do you have competing offers? For remote employee, it may be good

Yes I have competing offers. They're better, but I do like the role and op at MS... I'm gonna ask for more stock and a higher signing bonus and if it doesn't work there's always other options. Also in no need to find a new gig either... started this hunt to see what is out there but (mostly) okay with current job
