Title: Data Scientist (Level 61)
Base: $140,000
Stock Awards: $75,000 over four years
Cash Sign On: $20,000 (split between month 1 and month 13)
Performance bonus: 10-20%
Location: Redmond

Is it worth switching to Microsoft when I know many people who get paid way higher at L61? The recruiter said this is the final offer.

Immigration is a priority for me (I'm from a country where LGBTQ rights do not exist so I'd like to stay in North America) - currently on STEM OPT and Microsoft offers the option to move to Canada if H1B does not work out. My current company does not have a contingency plan.

TC: 224K = 140K base + 338K pre-IPO stock over 4 years in bay area
