I want to get into microsoft PM as well. How did you apply for msft? Referral, online, through school?

I applied through school

What level? Generally new grad salaries are the same for PM/SWE hired at level 59. But given your experience it sounds like you'd come in at a higher level.

Don't know the level yet. Waiting for my offer letter. Have another offer from a mediocre company

I would guess the TC range to be 140K to 160K.

I thought it would be much less. Thanks for the estimate

Level 59 107k base, 5-50k starting bonus closer to 5 unless you’re a rockstar 70-130k RSU grant. Again closer to 70 if you’re not a returning intern or a rockstar.

Sounds like OP will enter MSFT at higher than level 59 though, what with the Master's and prior work experience. I think level 59 is mostly given out to folks who are starting out of undergrad
