Do most people at Microsoft leverage the ESPP? Are there any restrictions? With the stock going up do you invest a good chunk of your payroll in it?
You can set aside up to 15% of your pay, and with that $ you get a quarterly buy of msft at 10% off the market price at the end of the quarter. I personally max it out and sell every quarter to diversify, but some prefer to hold. Msft is probably a good long stock.
Msft is probably the best big tech stock to hold. Impressive gains with 2% dividend on top.
You're an idiot not to, it's a free 1.5% raise.
Yeah, I forgot to sell the past few years... worked out so far ;)
Thanks
Yes espp & 401k match should always be taken. Its easy free money (of course part of your benefits).
401k only for citizens. . Its a hit or miss for h1s
you can cash out 401k with 10% penalty + taxes. Considering 50% match at MS that's still a win
Your in Amazon and interested in Microsoft ESPP ?
