Anyone familiar with IC levels in MSFT and how that compares to "regular" levels? Got a call from a recruiter about IC roles (sounded like there are IC1, IC2, IC3...and so on) and would like to know the comp pkg caps before I move on to next. Thanks everyone! #microsoft
don't think they have MSFT IC levels, only Lxx
@Deloitte - If you do some due diligence(like your partners brag) you will find out . https://www.levels.fyi/company/Microsoft/salaries/Software-Engineer/
Software Engineer - 59,60 Software engineer 2 - 61,62 Senior software engineer - 63, 64 Principal software engineer- 65,66,67 There are no IC1, IC2 etc. here
Maybe recruiter is trying to map to the title. Like IC1 = SDE, IC2 = SDE 2, 3 = Senior, 4 = Principal. But Microsoft never had such ICx internally. Also as other mentioned, each title maps to multiple levels. And the level matters more.
makes sense. really appreciate your input
TC and YOE or GTFO
Do you really believe people provide accurate TC information here ?
