I got contacted by a MS recruiter for L62 role. I’m an L5 at Amazon currently making TC 210k. On levels.fyi I see L62 salary range is 180-200k in Seattle. If I don’t have any additional offers, will MS offer me Atleast 250k for L62? If not, I’d rather not interview now and time it with other interviews to negotiate. If they offer me 250k+ I can leave immediately
Level.fyi is not so accurate,
Do you have some sample numbers in mind? People who negotiated without competing offers?
L5 is roughly equivalent to MS L63
Yeah in your lala land
I’d say senior L5 is equivalent to L63. L61 to L63 would be similar to L5 at Amazon
62 at Microsoft is awful
Why so?
L62 is clear down leveling. Push for L63.
I got promoted to L5 less than a year back. I’m worried that I may not be L63 material yet. Don’t want to be up-leveled and then kicked out for not performing. Want to take it easy.
I see. Original post didn’t have YOE. But Yes. With 1 year at L5, you will be better trying for L62.
Not worth it. Even hulu offer sde2 at 260k in LA/SEA.
Hulu has office in Seattle?
