Microsoft L61 Offer ( Redmond)
Got the below offer for Software Engineer 2 (L61) position in Microsoft, Redmond. Any room to negotiate? I don’t have any other offers. Team will be Azure networking. Thank you guys. Base: 131k Sign-on: 30k RSU: 80k/4 years bonus: 0-20% of base, recruiter says 10% for most ppl stock refresh: 0-13k/yr projected year 1 TC: 195k-210k YOE: 4 years w/ MS degree Current TC 150k
Without any other offers there is always very little room to negotiate. Could try "asking" for more RSUs though.
Is the projected TC applicable if you stay at your current role?
no i don’t think i can get anywhere near with my current role
Don’t add sign on in TC, and even if you do, divide by number of years you expect to stay there
Never mind, just saw that you’ve mentioned year 1 TC
My friend who’s a masters new grad got 130k/4 stock and 50k sign on, so you can definitely ask for more
New grad returning intern stock is like 120/3.5 now, never mind L61
Curious why do they do it? Would they be fine if you ask for 150k stocks for l60-61?
I've no idea why they're so competitive for new grad but not experienced
Fine
New grads are getting 120 stock
It's good. Stocks generally suck for industry hires so don't pay attention to the new grads get blah comments
Seems standard Microsoft offer based on what I have read in other similar posts.
Base looks fine, everything else is low balled
