Hello folks, Got the following offer for L61 from Microsoft. Is there room for negotiation? What is the max I can get? Any feedback appreciated. Base $140K Sign-in $40K - over 2 years RSU : $140K vested over 4 years Location Bellevue YOE: 4.5 TC 150K
You’re pretty much maxed out. You could try & push for L62 if you have competing offers / are senior engg in your current role. Then again if you’re senior engg + 4.5 yoe then you should be shooting for L63.
Experience with smaller firms is not considered

I got that offer with a competing offer. Pretty close to top of band for external hire.
Any idea what maximum stock I can ask is?
If you have a competing offer from FANNG I have seen someone get 200. Without I would ask for 160 and see if they can give you at least 150. But usually they do not move unless you have another offer.
I would say push for base and stocks little more! I have 2 years experience got an offer with same sign on but base -144K and Stock - 150k Would also recommend discussing your joining dates so that you would be eligible for Annual stocks as well as that depends on the date you join.
I have an offer with Microsoft as well. What is this Annual stocks ? By when do we need to join for this ? Recruiter didn’t mention this to me.
Does Microsoft negotiate at all at L61 level. I have an offer and also told this is lower than other counter offer but they won’t move a dime. Current Offer - 145/140/40. Shouldn’t recruiter negotiate if I have a offer higher than this ?
Yeah that is true! I tried harder but that was the max they could offer
Tell them about the stocks at Amazon, I got them to increase upto 160k

I think for 61 that’s pretty much it, I got similar one as yours but yoe is 2.5, maybe you should try to get to 62
