hi all,
im a current Microsoft PM.
Title: PM2
YOE: 3.5
TC: 135 Base + 15K last cash bonus + 5K stock
all of my sign on stock is already vested
i got an offer from Amazon
Title: PM 2/L5
TC: 145 Base + 80 Cash (over two years) + 100K stock (over 4 years)
I was told that I’m interviewing for a team that has both L5 & L6 roles and was offered an L5.
1. Has anyone been able to negotiate their way into an L6 when the Offer was for a L5?
2. Is there any room to negotiate a higher salary for an L5?
3. Would you take the L5 at Amazon or stay at Microsoft as a PM 2?

2. Yes. The max base is 160, try to get to that.
Your 1st year TC is: 145 + 50(assuming 50/30 split) + 5% of 100 = 200.
I’d say, counter with 160 + 110 + 70 RSU or something like that, which gets you to 160 + 65 + 0.05 * 140k = 232k
3. Unless you get Tc growth, why stay. Move to AMZN or elsewhere. Amazon pays the lowest in FAANG FYI.
4. L5 to L6 Promos aren’t the hardest, you can get it in a few years. L6 and beyond is super hard.
Yeah, make sure it’s worth it to jump, else why do it ..
