With all the stock inflation, I will be vesting nearly 40 -50k every year for the next 4 years (not counting any additional awards) at level 63. This means (for me) total comp at level 63 this year is about $240k. L64s are in the $280k - 300k band. Of course all of this depends on the stock keeping it's value, but that's true of any company's refreshers. Microsofties, perhaps we finally neared market salary parity (assuming L63/L64 = Google L5 = Facebook E5 = Amazon L5.5)!! Celebrate and live well. Let the trolling begin!
Hum not really, Facebook/Google L5 earns way more than that.
Have a few friends in Seattle Google/Facebook who are in the 300-350 range. It's in the ballpark, no? Unless I'm way off.
You’re talking about vesting 40-50k/year. E5 at Facebook vest 150k+/year
Less than 300 for senior role, and you are claiming that you caught up?
Senior at MSFT doesn't really map to Senior at Google or Facebook. In that sense, level parity considered, it's fair.
Meanwhile I’m delivering pizzas on weekends to make ends meet at SAP
Are you the DoorDash guy who’s spitting in peoples food?
Hang in there. Pizzas are making a comeback.
L4 in Seattle here. Vesting $180k in stocks this year. Hate to break it to you but Microsoft is still way behind. The problem is that when Microsoft gives peanuts refreshers and the stock doubles it is still double peanuts.
Well that’s highly unusual. A L4 typically gets 70-90k refreshers. The rest is due to stock growth and initial grant.
Congrats man. No worries at all, quite happy with current comp. However consider a new L4-L5 hire. Would they get the same refresher?
FB E5 is 350-400+
Tbh internal promoted ppl get less
You’re right it does take some time catch up. But even if you meet all expectations every half you even out to about 330k yeah?
My friend in Apple had 150k RSUs locked at $180... He's just an IC3. His TC now is ~240k thanks to Apple
Do more comp research before you make bold conclusion

Not hood rich my friend. We're all rich, even the folks at Microsoft, when compared to most of the world. Especially in Seattle.
