Base - 125k Stocks - 25k - 4 years Joining Bonus - 15k Performance Bonus - Upto 20% Performance Stock Grant - Upto 13K / year My current salary in Bay Area Base - 135K Stocks - 100 k - 4 years Can you please evaluate and let me know how much can I negotiate?
Signing bonus and stocks have to be improved a lot. I would not make the change otherwise. The current offer isn't worth it.
How much would you suggest?
Guys please suggest some numbers!
Ask for 75k in stocks and 30k signon bonus
MSFT doesn't pay very well, until you hit L63 or above.
Even at 63 you’re well below market.
Money takes u a long way in redmond compared to the bay. No state taxes, cheaper rents. Please factor that.
Yes keeping all that in mind suggest me what a level 61 should get?
Is this an SDE role? New grad L59 SDEs at Microsoft are offered $120k of stock over 4 years...
Base can be improved to 135k+, signing can be improved to 40k over 2 years as well. However you need a competing offer from a well paying company in order to get those kind of numbers.
I only got $50k of stock over 4 years as a new grad, but that was early 2014 and in Redmond area. Did that number go up in recent years?
MSFT gives more RSUs to fresh college grads, than industry hires at lower levels
