Is there a difference between Software Engineer 2 and Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft? Please enlighten me. What is the compensation I can expect for SDE 2 there? Salary, bonus, stocks etc
As an SDE 2 (level 61), I am in the lower of two levels considered SDE 2. So compensation (if you were in Redmond) for you as an SDE 2 should be at LEAST 127k base / 70k stock over 4 years.
The average bonus is ~8% of your salary, but is based on performance and could be as high as 20%.
@tgvq88 in theory, but because a certain number of people are mandated to be given above 10%, some other people are given less by proxy. I was told by my skip that because the people given above 10% tend to be a higher level, and several lower level people need to be adjusted for each higher level person, the median works out to be around 8.

Wasn't average 10%?
