I'm in talks with a recruiter from Microsoft in the Seattle area about a Sr. PM role for L63 with the azure team. What base salary and TC should I expect, if they make me an offer? I've heard that Microsoft often low balls with the initial offer, so I want to have an idea about the limit I can negotiate to. Also, I've heard that L63 Sde tend to make more than PMs or TPM. If anyone can confirm that as well. Ideally, I would like to get TC of 245k but not sure if that's possible.
Base ~$150k, bonus $22.5k (15%), annual stock 17k.
If you really Dev salary, you must be willing to do Dev work. That's beyond what you can make for asking status updates as a PM
Should be possible for Dev and since PM have the same salaries at Microsoft maybe it’s possible?
So it looks like from comments here that the max I can hope for 190k?
If you have competing offers you can prolly get $200-$220K but not much more
Out of curiosity, if I tell Microsoft that I have competing offers, will they ask me for proof? Why can't I make up competing offers to negotiate?
You can, but it makes you a bad person. They probably won't check.
They have no way of checking - you don’t need to disclose the company - they will happily fuck you so don’t loose sleep over it
Its been a few months so what did they end up offering? I am considering a similar move.
Did you get the offer?
Were you able to get your target tc?
Hi What happened to your negotiation? What much did you get at the end?
You’re not gonna get 245k for L63 PM at the country club 😂
