Microsoft level 61 compensation
With 4 years of experience as SDE, the offer is 130k base 15k sign on 30k stock over 4 years Equally( so 7500$/yr) I feel the sign on and stock is less. I have only this offer. Any thoughts on negotiation? Update on the offer: 135k base, 40k sign on for 2 years( 20k in one year and 20k in another year) and 75k stocks for 4 years equally
4 years of experience in India/China or USA? Did you have Ms in USA? Did you get Relocation ?
30k for 4 years . Vested equally. So 7500$ per year
Masters in USA and 4 years in intel USA
Relocation is in two options. Cash out or some service handling your move .
Levelsfyi says a median sign on bonus of 15k. I feel it’s too low. When I started out at intel I got 15k. Does Microsoft usually pays this low?
Yes. Annual refresher is a joke.
Not a high offer, but also could be worse, like L60 115 base etc
I got friends got identical numbers about three years ago.
I was offered more than that as a new grad (was given 150k/3.5 years). Aim at least for 120k, but even that feels a bit low.
New grads are always offered more stock than industry
@pterra, it’s true new grad get better offers than L61
Can't believe M$FT low balls this hard
I just got a 59 offer that looks better 109 base 120k over 3.5 years in stocks 25k joining You seem to have been low balled.
Did you have an another offer? What is your experience
New grad masters. I was expecting to get another offer, but it most certainly would have been like 50k lower than MS. So not something I can negotiate with. I am a non traditional team in MS build specifically for AI. So not SDE, but AI Data Scientist.
Does msft just generally low ball industry hires? Or do they give decent RSU to those who come from select companies?
Yes, they low ball. Not sure if it is for select companies or all. Probably supply demand game goes if select companies is to be factored
30k over 4years?.....
Yes
It’s vested for 4 years equally
